Churches & faith communities — Automation for churches
The office sorts prayer requests from event questions, follows up with first-time guests by hand, and builds giving statements at year end. These are the parts software can take over, with your pastors and staff still deciding pastoral care, prayer needs and anything personal about a member or family. 42 automations fit, each with an example and workflow written for churches & faith communities.
