3 Things Your Database Does | PP092
How often do you use your church database?
I think it is one of the most incredible tools ANY pastor has access to, but are you using it strategically? Here are 3 ways your database helps you be both a strategic AND caring pastor.
One subject I can talk about ALL day is how a church database (or Church Management System) is one of the most effective and vital tools for any pastor and church.
Helps You See Your True Church
Your average worship attendance isn’t your church. The total number of Active Adults gives you a much better idea of who is in your church.
Yes. You can count this up on paper or a spreadsheet. You can even begin to create communication and engagement strategies this way. But it is going to take much longer than it would with a well-oiled database and consistent strategy.
I’m discovering many churches’ true size is dramatically different than their Sunday attendance.
Stuff The Cracks Folks Fall Through
In anything that involves people, folks are going to fall through the cracks. But a solid database strategy will help minimize that.
Allow You to Strategically Pastor
It is completely possible to be both a strategic pastor AND a caring pastor. Your database is going to help you do that. A good database will expand not just the pastors, but the entire church’s span of care.
