If your church uses Planning Center Online (PCO) to manage groups, events, and sermons, you already have a wealth of information sitting in your database. The challenge is getting that information in front of your congregation on your church website — without rebuilding it every week.
That’s exactly what PCO Embed was built to solve.
What Is PCO Embed?
PCO Embed is a simple, powerful tool that lets you embed live, up-to-date content from your Planning Center account directly onto any church website. No plugins. No manual updates. No developer required.
With a single line of code added to your website, PCO Embed automatically pulls your latest data from Planning Center and displays it beautifully — and when you update something in PCO, your website updates too.
What Can You Embed?
🏠 Small Groups
Help your congregation find a group to belong to. PCO Embed can display your full list of small groups with filtering by group type, search by name or schedule, and an interactive map showing where groups meet. Visitors can filter by open groups, browse by tag, and find a group that fits their life.
📅 Events
Display your upcoming church events in a clean, modern calendar view. Whether it’s a weekly service, a youth camp, or a community outreach, your events page stays current automatically — pulling directly from your Planning Center calendar.
🎙️ Sermons & Series
Embed your latest sermon series from Planning Center Publishing. Visitors can watch video, listen to audio, and browse past series — all without leaving your website. It’s a seamless experience that keeps people engaged with your content.
Why Churches Love PCO Embed
✅ Always Up to Date
The moment you update a group, add an event, or publish a new sermon in Planning Center, your website reflects it. There’s no separate system to maintain.
✅ Works With Any Website
PCO Embed uses a Shadow DOM architecture, which means it won’t conflict with your existing website styles. Whether you’re running WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, or a custom-built site — if you can paste a snippet of code, you can use PCO Embed.
✅ No Technical Skills Required
Once your administrator adds the embed code to your website, everything else is managed through Planning Center — the tool your team already knows how to use.
✅ Mobile Friendly
Every embed is fully responsive and looks great on phones, tablets, and desktops.
How Does It Work?
Getting started with PCO Embed takes just a few minutes:
- Sign up at pcoembed.com and connect your Planning Center account
- Create an embed — choose the type (Groups, Events, or Sermons) and configure your display options
- Copy the embed code — a small snippet of JavaScript is generated for you
- Paste it into your website — drop it into any page where you want the content to appear
That’s it. Your live Planning Center data will start appearing on your website immediately.
Real-World Example: Finding a Small Group
Imagine a visitor lands on your Groups page. Instead of a static list that was last updated six months ago, they see:
- A live search box to find groups by name or day
- Filters for group type (Men’s, Women’s, Young Adults, Family)
- Badges showing which groups are open or full
- An interactive Google Map showing group locations in their suburb
All of this is powered by your existing Planning Center Groups data — no extra work for your team.
