Track Your Church Attendance, Giving, Salvations, and Baptisms for FREE

If you don’t count, you should. And you should keep up with it. You should compare it week to week and year over year. You’ll learn trends. You’ll remember what worked, and you can quantify it. You’ll be able to go back and evaluate that great series that turned out to be not so great, and that one that gained momentum out of nowhere. You’ll be surprised the questions you’ll start asking yourself and your staff. Don’t get caught up in the false humility of not counting. Also, don’t do it to boast. Do it to know. Do it to be better. Do it to be a good steward. Do it well, with easy access to it that you can control, and do it for free.

ChurchMetrics.com is a FREE resource that allows you to input your weekly numbers from attendance to giving to salvations to baptism to a web-based application. You build your own secure and private user account and can set it up to share with those you’d like to have access to this information. Once it’s online, you’ll have access to the data anywhere you have an internet connection. There is even a mobile application for it you can use with a smartphone. (All the more reason to order your Nexus One today!)  All the information is available in it’s raw form, but it’s also compiled in useful charts and graphs to help you find the trends.  It also comes with a handy dashboard that gives you a quick snapshot of what’s going on in your ministry.  If you’re a multi-site church, it’s even multi-campus ready.

You know what?  On second thought, you might not want to be accountable for the information you’ll find.  Maybe you shouldn’t do it.
