Involvement / Assimilation

Process for updating status?

rachels — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 18:54:53 GMT

Hello! I am wondering if anyone out there has a process already in place for updating new visitors to attendees (once they actually get involved in the church), and archiving people who are no longer attending. Our criteria is pretty straight forward - either they (or their children) have attended any activity x amount of times in x months (x tbd still); or they have given x times in x months, or they are volunteering for a ministry.

Unfortunately, although i know what i want to do and the criteria for doing it, i can not seem to find a good way to do it through the F1 reports. I've talked to F1 about it and have gotten several different reports to use but it doesn't seem like there is a good way to implement it without having to look at each separate record (ie someone may be giving who isn't attending anything, but there is no way to cross reference that easily across the different reports i've been given to use).

Help?? :) we are running about 1500 people a weekend now, and i would like to actually have an accurate representation of who is actually attending vs. just visiting vs. hasn't been here in 2 years. :) Obviously it won't be perfect (because there are some people who just manage to stay below the radar no matter what!) but any improvement to our current 'hit or miss' process would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Literature for planningcenter.com was distributed at DC09 Conference. Is there a thought that the contact information from this could be pulled, eventually, from Fellowship One Database? It looks like a great tool, but we don't want to double email lists of volunteers.

Tracking Worship Service Attendance

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone posts attendance in F1 for their worship services or how they track attendance for their worship services?

Thanks! :)

How do you measure assimilation? What is your criteria for getting folks successfully connected?

How do you determine or measure assimilation for your church? Which statistics (criteria) do you rely on for determining how successful (or not!) you are in getting people connected? Also what is the source of these numbers? Do they reside in one central point of knowledge (database) or are they in multiple data repositories?

Membership Applications

mneese — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 18:06:22 GMT

We've moved our membership application from a paper form to a weblink. Is anyone else doing something similar to this with F1? I'm trying to find a way to most effectively use F1 without having to repeat processes with data entry. At this point the form is like a survey, so we have the information but we still need to then take that information and enter it into the appropriate places. I suppose an ideal online membership application would be the mix of a contact and a volunteer form.

Any suggestions or experiences?
