The Problem

Most Churches Lose 60% of First-Time Visitors

Not because they don't care — but because follow-up is manual, inconsistent, and always feels late.

  • Visitor cards sit in a pile until Monday — or Tuesday, or never
  • Pastor is too drained after Sunday to write personal messages
  • No one knows who followed up, what was said, or what the next step is
  • Spreadsheets get stale and eventually abandoned
  • Families visit 2-3 times and disappear with no one noticing
60–80%
of first-time church visitors never return — most because no one reached out

How It Works

From First Sunday to Membership — Automatically

1

Visitor Checks In

Via SMS text, a kiosk QR code, or your website welcome form. No app download needed. Works on any phone.

2

Pipeline Created Instantly

Visitor is added to your pipeline with their name, contact info, how they heard about you, and any notes your greeter adds.

3

AI Follow-Up Drafted

Within minutes, ChurchAutomate drafts a warm, personal message in your pastor's voice. One tap to approve and send — or let it go automatically.

4

Journey Tracked

Visitor moves through pipeline stages — First Visit → Follow-Up → Connected → Member. AI surfaces the right next step at each stage.

CRM Features

Everything Your Visitor Pipeline Needs

📱

SMS + Web Check-In

Visitors text a number or scan a QR code. Their info flows directly into the pipeline — no manual entry, no paper forms.

🤖

AI Follow-Up in Your Voice

ChurchAutomate learns your church's tone. Every message sounds personal because it's trained on how your pastor actually communicates.

📊
