The Challenge
Imagine a long-time church family quietly slipping away because a care need went unnoticed. It happens more often than we realize—and it's costly. Churches thrive when members feel valued and cared for. However, when pastoral care is unstructured, important opportunities to provide support can be missed, leading to disengagement and even families leaving the church. This not only affects the spiritual health of the congregation but also has significant financial implications.
The Cost of Missed Pastoral Care
Member Attrition
Families leave when care needs go unnoticed, resulting in both spiritual and financial losses.
Financial Impact
The average family of four contributes $7,407 annually to their church.
Network Effect
When one family leaves due to feeling uncared for, they often influence others to leave as well.
Time Constraints
Pastoral staff have limited time to personally address all care needs in the congregation.
Communication Gaps
Without structured systems, important care information falls through the cracks.
Resource Limitations
Churches need affordable solutions that maximize their ministry impact.
The Solution
