Bring your people
with you.
Moving to Gather28 doesn't mean rebuilding your church database from scratch. Import your Planning Center People database and bring your existing people, families and important information with you.
Switch the platform. Keep your people.
Simple migration in 4 steps
Export
Export your People database from Planning Center as a CSV file.
Upload
Upload the CSV into Gather28. No special formatting required.
Review
Gather28 maps your fields, identifies households and flags possible duplicates.
Start
Your People are ready inside Gather28 — names, contacts, households and more.
Bring your existing People database with you and start using Gather28 with the information your church already has.
Gather28 Platform
Import your People and continue with your church's own configurable People Journey — customisable stages, courses and next steps.
ICN Platform
After importing, organise your people into your ICN journey:
People are not auto-assigned to environments — an administrator reviews and places each person.
The big question
"Will we have to rebuild our database?"
No. Export your Planning Center People database, upload it to Gather28 and bring your people with you. Names, contact details and households come across — we help you review duplicates before anything goes live.
Don't just store data. Know what needs attention.
Gather28 turns your records into a clear picture of who needs care, who's ready to serve, and who's falling through the cracks.
