Ministry happens in moments: finding a phone number before a visit, remembering an anniversary, seeing who lives near a family in need, or returning to a prayer request. Ministry Margin Directory keeps those moments within reach. Directory is a focused iPhone companion for pastors, staff, elders, and ministry leaders who use Planning Center. Planning Center remains the source of truth. Directory makes the people and household information you are permitted to see faster to find and easier to act on. Live Planning Center access requires a separately purchased Monthly or Yearly auto-renewable subscription. Eligible new subscribers can start a 7-day free trial. Try Demo Directory is available without a subscription and uses fictional data stored locally on the device. FIND PEOPLE FAST Search your selected directory by name, phone number, or address. Phone number formatting does not matter, and Directory shows why each result matched. Open a person to call, text, email, get directions, or save that contact when you choose. CARE WITH CONTEXT People Map gives you a visual sense of where households live. Open Nearby from a contact card to center the map on that person and see nearby households at a glance. Permitted Planning Center household context keeps adults and children together, even when someone is outside your selected directory list. NOTICE THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER Milestones brings the next three months into view. See Planning Center birthdays and anniversaries alongside baptisms and other private care milestones you record for the people you serve. KEEP PRAYER CLOSE TO THE PERSON Create general or person-linked prayer requests, organize them as active or ongoing, and mark them answered.

Directory prepares permitted Planning Center People data for protected offline use. Household context is read-only and remains in protected app-owned local storage.
