One of the recent discussions has been on the worth of moving ppl from ‘Attendee’ to ‘Prospect’ / ‘Miscellaneous’.

Our Lead Pastor brought up a good point in that when ppl stop attending, they are moved to ‘Prospect’, thus removed from contact lists. They then lose all regular contact from Calvary. At the moment when they might be needing some contact, b/c of whatever reason they stop attending, they are less likely to. And this may lead them to not desire to re-attend.

To help solve this figurative disappearing, I created a few new reports in Shelby. The reports show -

1) Phone Number

2) Input Date

3) Date Moved to AT

4) Date Moved to PS/MS

5) Received from: [this is how they first came into Calvary – Sunday Worship, LIFE Classes, Children’s Ministry, etc)

6) Last Date attended Sunday Worship

7) Last Date attended LIFE Classes

8) Module

9) Membership Status (card-carrying member status)

These reports will show the timeline of first visit, becoming a regular attendee, and non-attendance. It will also show if there is a certain entry point (received from) that doesnt correspond well to keeping regular attendees. The Membership Status will show how many Card Members left for each month.

Hopefully this will help us retain more ppl.

And help Calvary answer the question ‘Where Are They Now?’

Next post maybe I’ll do something on ‘Pop-Up Video’ or ‘One-Hit Wonders.’
