    Membership Applications

    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?

    Re: Membership Applications

    An online application would be convenient, however, not the best choice for us. For three reasons:

    • First, most of the people who fill out forms on Weblink do not format their information correctly which means we must go in afterwards and fix the information they gave us.
    • Second, most of the people who become members were already attending the church and filling out a form in Weblink would create a duplicate record if they did not already create a Weblink account.
    • Third, to get a Membership Application you must first attend a Membership Class. When we receive the application we update the individual's personal information and Status then upload the paper application into the individual's requirements (Membership is a requirement for most of our ministries).

    I would be interested to here what your Membership process is. We are always looking for ways to improve.

    Matt,

     

    We do scan the paper into a PDF also, if you get it working well at Trinity let me know - I would love to use WEBLINK to its full capabilities.

     

    Thank you,
