There’s a lot of chatter about data these days. You’ve probably heard or read about how forward-thinking businesses, nonprofits and pro sports teams are using data to “change the game”. But what does that mean for churches? Why is data important in ministry?

Data gives churches insight to better meet the needs of congregation members. Using data, church leaders can discover things like what programs members want to see more of, how members prefer to make different type of gifts, and even identify at-risk members before they disengage from the church.

• Smarter decision-making (eliminating biases)
• Better meeting the needs of your members
• A community where everyone feels they have a say
• Creating stronger, more personal connections with members
•
