Churches everywhere are turning their focus towards growth be it numerical growth, financial growth, asset growth or any other criteria they might prefer. One thing that is true for everyone is that growth is only achieved through successfully converting visitors into new members, which will indirectly or directly influence your growth in other areas.

With how important growth is, we believe that every church should have a dedicated team that focuses on the growth life cycle. This can be broadly divided into three areas

Evangelism – Evangelism and Outreach efforts address the top end of the funnel, when planned correctly will ensure that you have plenty of people who come through your doors or hear of you whom your focus is to convert into members.

Visitors – these will cover first time visitors, repeat visitors or anyone you get into contact with as you do evangelism and outreach programs. For example, you are doing a Street Clean-Up Campaign as part of your outreach program, people that stop by to engage with you should be treated as “visitors” in the same way as you would for a visitor to a Sunday service. Collect their details and they should be properly followed up.

New Members – once a visitor decides that they want to be part of the church family, they have to be hand hold as they integrate into the new family. Each new member will have a dedicated integration leader assigned to them.

With this background in mind, the Church Growth App is designed specifically for teams responsible for visitors and new members. It offers them a tool at hand to closely guide visitors and new members so that no one falls through the cracks.

Dashboard

The Dashboard provides a snapshot of the key metrics for each of the growth areas, visitors, new members and evangelism. These key metrics are called Health Checks as one can easily tell the state of affairs from the numbers at a glance.
