// what the hub does
Built for Planning Center churches
Every app works from your church's own Planning Center account.
One Planning Center sign-in
Your Planning Center account opens Sync, Shield and Tend. There's no new password to remember, and we never see your Planning Center password. Move between apps from the switcher at the top of every screen, without signing in again.
One bill for your church
Every app on one bill for your church: 10% off for two apps, 20% off for all three. Your plan, payment method and billing contact all live in one tidy place.
People & access
One page to decide who on your staff can use what: a role in each app (Viewer, Manager or Admin), changed whenever you need to, and picked up by every app within a minute.
Planning Center stays your record
Your people stay in Planning Center, and you keep editing them there. The apps read from it, so there's no second database to keep up.
// people & access
Decide who can use what
Each person on your staff gets a role in each app: Viewer, Manager or Admin, or nothing at all. Someone who looks after volunteer screening can run Shield without seeing your People database figures in Tend. Change a role and it saves at once; each app picks it up within a minute.
Viewer
Sees the figures. In Tend, a count of 1 to 4 people reads “fewer than 5”, and there is no Refresh button.
Manager
In Shield, can refresh and open Settings to choose the teams that count. In Tend, sees the names behind a figure.
Admin
In Shield, also sees Access, the sync account and the screening policy. In Tend, writes your church’s own rules.
Examples from Shield and Tend. Each app decides what its roles can do.
// getting started
How it works
- 01
Sign in with Planning Center
Use the Planning Center account you already have. There's no new password to remember. Setting up a church needs an Organization Administrator in Planning Center.
- 02
Pick your apps
Try Sync, Shield or Tend free for 30 days, no card needed. A trial ends on its own, and nothing is charged unless you keep the app.
- 03
Decide who can use what
Give each person on your staff a role in each app (Viewer, Manager or Admin) and change it whenever you need to.

What the Hub opens

Questions about the Hub
Who can set up our church in the Hub?
Setting up a church needs an Organization Administrator in Planning Center. Once the church is set up, they can give anyone on staff a role in each app.
Do our staff need another password?
No. Everyone signs in with the Planning Center account they already have, and it opens Sync, Shield and Tend. We never see your Planning Center password.
How do roles work?
Each person gets a role in each app: Viewer, Manager or Admin, or no access to that app at all. Change a role and it saves at once; each app picks it up within a minute.
Which apps does the Hub open?
Sync, which puts your Planning Center data on your own website; Shield, for volunteer background checks and training; and Tend, for a clean Planning Center People database. One sign-in opens all three.
Can any church set up the Hub now?
Yes. Any Planning Center church can set up today: an Organization Administrator signs in with Planning Center, and there’s nothing to fill in. Then each app starts with a free 30-day trial, with no card needed.
What does it cost?
The Hub itself is free. Sync is $19 a month or $190 a year; Shield and Tend are $29 a month or $290 a year each. Two apps are 10% off and all three are 20% off, on one bill. Every app starts with a free 30-day trial that ends on its own.
Is wtxLabs part of Planning Center?
No. wtxLabs is an independent company, and the Hub uses Planning Center’s own sign-in. wtxLabs is not affiliated with or endorsed by Planning Center.
