1. Click either the "Accept/Decline" (green/red buttons) or "Respond to Requests" (blue button). 

2. If you clicked the "Respond to Requests" (blue) button, once you click "Respond..." you will be asked to "Log in to PCO." Input your email address (the one to which the request was sent), then click "need a password" (if this is the first time you are logging in).

3. Follow the steps to create a password for your PCO account.

4. Once you are logged in to PCO you will see a dashboard with the pertinent information for your ministry. Click "Accept/Decline" for each specific date you are assigned depending on your availability. If you click "Decline" you are given the option of sending an explanation for why you are not available on that date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who do I contact if I have a question about the scheduling system?

If you have any questions about using the system or about your assigned date to minister you can reply directly to the PCO email you receive and your question will come directly to me. Or you can email me directly at sarnold@mountcalvarybaptist.org.

Ensemble-Leaders - how to manage multiple accounts

We create a separate PCO login for each ensemble. You can avoid the need to login individually to these different accounts to manage opportunities for the different ensembles you oversee by enabling your personal account to manage the ensembles. After you have done this, you can manage opportunities for yourself and the ensembles you manage by logging into your personal account, and you won't have to login to the individual ensemble accounts. 

Here is a short video demonstrating how to manage ensembles on a computer. The process for managing them on the mobile app is similar: you have to select all of your ensembles in order to see and manage their ministry assignments. If you don't see options for the ensembles you manage, contact sarnold@mountcalvarybaptist.org for assistance.
