Switch without betting a Sunday on it.
We import your people, gifts, and groups, then stay with your team through the first Sunday. Your current tool keeps running until you say go.
What we commit to during a migration.
01
You can take your data out at any time.
Export your giving records, saved people lists, and audit history whenever you want, with no fees or extra steps. A full export of every record isn’t available yet.
02
We run the migration with you.
We spend one 45-minute call importing your people, households, groups, and giving history. Then we’re on your first weekly call to make sure your first Sunday goes smoothly.
03
You can run both systems for a short overlap.
Run them side by side for your first Sunday or two while your team gets used to Scout. Then move over fully. Scout’s read on your church only sharpens once your giving, serving, and groups all live in one place.
The platforms we import from today.
Planning Center connects directly with an access token today. The others are guided: you give us access, we pull everything across on the migration call. If your tool isn’t listed, we’ll work from a CSV or database export.

What moves over, category by category.
| Category | How it moves |
|---|---|
| People & households | Direct import. Names, contact details, family relationships, status. |
| Groups | Group records + memberships + leadership. Meeting cadence imported where structured. |
| Giving history | Full transaction history with funds, methods, and donor links. No data loss. |
| Serving history | Teams, positions, rosters, and a year of who served when. Leads come across too. |
| Custom fields | Not imported automatically. We’ll talk through what’s worth recreating by hand on the call. |
| Forms + check-in history | Starts fresh in Scout. We’ll set up your forms and check-in rooms on the migration call. |
