A replay from one of your favourite episodes. One you need to think about as we head into the new year.


Data is just a tool, but it’s an important tool. Its real purpose? Loving and serving your people better. A snapshot of data can give you an idea of your church health. 


What we discuss

What’s a good target?Community Reflection: Does your congregation reflect the diversity of your local area?Secondary Giving: Beyond general giving, how generous are people with time, talent, and resources?Newcomer System: Are first-time guests sticking around? If not, what’s falling through the cracks?Staff-to-Attendee Ratio: Do you have enough leaders? What’s a good ratio?
