  • Self Check In for Students

    We recently started using Self Check In. We have a separate student building so kids are coming over w/out their parent (and the parent has the key tag.) Our student ministry has exploded almost overnight so we are experiencing looongg lines for assisted check in. We want to get the students using self check in. However, it doesn't seem to be ...

  • Up to date student information

    We have a relatively large church and are starting to see a problem with our student information in F1. We want this information to be correct, obviously, because without correct, up to date information the reports are pretty much useless. We've found that high school students tend to change email addresses often and it's difficult to keep up with ...

  • Re: Status and Youth Ministry

    Thank you! Both you and Jeff have been a BIG help! We have decided to go with attributes for tracking our youth ministry. I like your suggestion of tracking attendance with just a laptop. We are averaging about 115 youth a week, so having a couple of volunteers logging attendance may be doable. I do use ''post attendance'' for all of our ...

  • Re: Status and Youth Ministry

    Thanks for responding! So you just use the status for a regular Sunday morning service and then use attributes to show who attends the youth ministry? You are able to pull all of the reports you need this way? Thanks, Lauren Wood Church of the Living God Manchester, CT www.clgonline.net

  • Status and Youth Ministry

    We are trying to better organize our statuses and sub-statuses and are coming up with some issues having to do with our youth ministry. Right now, the youth ministry has it's own status with sub-statuses under that (infrequent attender, infrequent sunday am attender, visitor, etc.) These are for when someone from the youth ministry primarily just ...

  • Keeping custom information on students?

    Our student ministry has so much to offer to kids relationally, but struggles with keeping  up with useful data because we don't have a good way to manage it in F1.  Of course we can keep up with all the normal items, such as name, email, phone, address, IM name, etc.  What about things like sports played, favorite food/drink, ...

  • School Grade Levels

    I'm having a hard time without the option of grade levels as a choice in creating reports for our youth ministry. How do other people do this?

  • Creative ways to get youth groups to check in

    We are looking for ways to boost our check in numbers for our two youth groups.  We have both a Jr. High and a Sr. High group which meet on different nights.  There seems to be a gap between the actual head count number and what the system check in reflects.  The gap is biggest in the high school age group.  Currently we are ...
