VitalSigns
Track data, gain insight,
and help your church
The VitalSigns dashboard is a tool that allows churches to track church growth indicators, such as weekly worship attendance, professions of faith, small group participation, missional participation, and financial giving. It is a deeper level of insight, support, and accountability that tracks and trends vital information in an easy-to-understand dashboard.
|
|
The General Council on Finance and Administration pays for this software through General Church apportionments. The recent session of Annual Conference voted to recommend all churches use VitalSigns.
