Six Important Church Metrics We Often Ignore

Six Important Church Metrics We Often Ignore

1. Conversion trends
2. Ministry involvement trends
3. Small group attendance trends
4. Total giving trends
5. Budget giving trends
6. Weekly per capita giving

Some highlights from today’s Rainer Report:

• The higher % of members you get involved in ministry, the smaller the backdoor of the church will get.
• Small group attendance trends will likely tell you more about other areas of the church—giving, involvement, worship attendance, etc.
• Total giving isn’t the only giving trend you need to be watching in your church.
• Giving trends are often early indicators for other church health trends.
