Almost six months ago I started a blog series on the top ways to use registrations for events and forms in Churchteams. Our support and onboarding teams deal with these applications of the software all the time. In addition, our Knowledge Base is full of related articles that need to be optimized.
The goal of this series was to draw attention to specific ways to use the feature and then point to articles and video resources to help build out these applications. I did some research on how some of our top churches were using the feature on their websites and used those findings to outline this series.
A growing number of churches use Prepare your visit forms to make the first visit experience as hospitable as possible. I had written on that as part of a series on workflows a few years ago. In addition to that use of the registration feature, here is a summary of this series with a link to each topic for quick access.
- Connection card
- Membership class registration
- Church membership form
- Volunteer interest form
- Prayer requests
- Pledges and giving commitments
- Small group leaders and groupfinder
- Potlucks and meal trains
- Youth camp and Vacation Bible School
- School tuition & recurring payments
Once you gather information using these registrations or forms, the "group" itself serves as the "spreadsheet" summary of those responses. The blog post, 5 best practices for using and analyzing registration form responses, was written to help you take advantage of the CRM resources built into Churchteams to do any needed follow-up.
We started this company to build software that will help churches thrive as they seek to make disciples and build teams. These processes all start by making connections and ensuring follow up.
If you have a use case that you don't see in this list, don't hesitate to reach out to us by emailing or calling support. And, our Facebook Forum is full of people just like you who may have great ideas and applications of the software in their church.
