A Church Relationship Manager

To know,and tobe known.

Q: What exactly does Collie do, and not do?

Each week Collie counts the follow-ups that are due, the care reports waiting for review, and the people added to FlockConnect in the last seven days, not counting spreadsheet imports, then writes a short prioritized brief with a clear “Why.” Nothing it drafts reaches a member, a connected system, or a care record until you approve it.

Q: How long does setup take?

Most churches are up and running in an afternoon. Connect Planning Center or import a CSV, set who shepherds whom, and you're ready to log and follow up the same day. On the Collie Small plan and up, Collie's first brief arrives the following Tuesday morning (or the day your church picks), and you can generate one from Home any time.

Q: Do I pay per staff member?

Never. Starter is one flat price for your whole church, with unlimited pastors, admins, and volunteer Care Partners and no church-size cap. Every larger plan is priced by church size, never by how many people use it. Children are excluded from the billing count by default.

Q: Is my church's data private and secure?

Yes. Data is hosted securely with encrypted credentials, permissions are role- and scope-aware, and notes carry plain-language visibility settings. You can export your data at any time, and Collie only ever uses the context you've allowed. Giving shows cadence only, never amounts.

Q: What do 'care contact,' 'attendance,' and 'giving cadence' actually measure?

Each ring is a plain rule your church owns. Care contact: someone reached out recently (default: within 30 days, 2+ times a quarter). Attendance: seen recently and regularly (default: within 2 weeks, 6+ times a quarter). Groups & ministries: part of at least one group or team. Network: who someone is connected to inside the church. It reads nothing today. The research behind it found that most new Christians who stayed had made about seven friends (Win and Charles Arn, 1984). Giving cadence: only whether the rhythm of giving has gone quiet, never amounts, and only visible to staff you permit. The defaults are a starting point. They're stored per church so they can be calibrated to your congregation.

Q: Is FlockConnect available in Spanish?

Yes. FlockConnect is bilingual (English and Español), and churches in both the US and México use it every week.

Churches track attendance. Nobody tracks relationships. Until now. People drift quietly. FlockConnect shows you who's connected, who you haven't seen lately, and what to do next.

Inside FlockConnect

Open your laptop to clarity,
not another dashboard.

A calm, prioritized list of the few moves that matter this week, each ready for your approval.

Always explainable

Every card carries a “Why:” line.

You're in control

The whole brief waits for your review. Approve, snooze, or dismiss.

A lost sheep met by the sheepdog, the sunlit flock beyond

The gap nobody sees

Attendance looks fine. Right up until someone leaves.

Most churches can measure who showed up, but not who's quietly slipping away. FlockConnect makes the drift visible while there's still time to be present.

One of my closest friends was two years into our church when he told me he was leaving. He looked fine on paper. He was showing up. He was in a small group. But nobody knew he felt alone.

Michael Tribett, founder

7friends in the first six months: what most new Christians who stayed had made.

The 7-Friend Threshold

Most who stayed had made about seven friends.

Most who stayed7+ friends

Most who left2 or fewer

In a small study Win and Charles Arn published in 1984, most new Christians still active after six months had made seven or more friends in their church; most who dropped out had made two or fewer. FlockConnect doesn't count friends. It watches whether a newcomer is getting woven in: serving alongside people, learning with them, doing life with them, so you can act early.

How it works

Set up in an afternoon.
See who needs care.

Connect your people
Sync from Planning Center or import a CSV. FlockConnect maps the households, groups, and relationships already in your church.
FlockConnect watches the flock
It quietly tracks attendance, care contact, and group life, surfacing who you haven't seen lately before it shows up anywhere else.
You shepherd, with clarity
Each week, Collie writes a short prioritized brief: who to reach, and why. Nothing it drafts reaches a member, a connected system, or a care record until you approve it.

Ask Collie

Your flock, one question away.

Ask in plain English. Collie answers from what your account is allowed to see, and you decide what happens next.

Demo

What's on my plate this week?

You have three open follow-ups. A call with Sarah M. is due Thursday, a hospital visit with David K. is due Friday, and a welcome coffee with James T. is two days overdue. James is the one to start with.

You approve before anything writes back.

What this looks like for one person

From drifting to known again.

An illustrative walk-through of the moment FlockConnect is built for.

01
Three Sundays, and nobody noticed
On paper, nothing looked wrong. Sarah was on the roster, she was in a group, and she just had two connections.
02
FlockConnect flags it
Her care-contact and attendance rings dipped, and she moved into Less contact on the People list, with the reason spelled out on her page.
03
A pastor reaches out
A warm note from the pastor's own phone, in their own words. A coffee on Thursday. An intro to the Tuesday group.
04
Known again
Five connections and counting. The kind of re-rooting that used to happen by luck now happens on purpose.

From overwhelmed and drifting to cared-for and connected

“To know… and to be known.”

The network ring

See the relationships, not just the roster.

Every line is a real connection inside your church: a group, a friendship, a shared ministry. FlockConnect maps them.

Why a ChRM?

A ChRM is not another ChMS.

Church Management Software keeps the operations running: attendance, giving, the directory. A Church Relationship Manager tracks the connections that actually keep people, and runs right alongside the ChMS you already use.

Integrations

Plays nicely with your stack.

Start with Planning Center or a simple CSV and you’re shepherding by the weekend. FlockConnect works alongside the tools you already run. It never asks you to leave them behind.

Planning Center

Our official, reviewed two-way people sync. You approve every write-back.

CSV & manual import

Bring your roster in minutes, or add people by hand. No sync required.

Calendar & email

Google or Microsoft calendar writeback for visits, plus email for every notification.

SMS reminders

A gentle 72-hour fallback when a care email goes unread. Opt-in, never spam.

Trust & privacy

Built so the pastor is always the shepherd.

You approve before anything writes back

Collie drafts; a person decides. Nothing it drafts reaches a member, a connected system, or a care record until someone says yes.

Permission-aware by design

Notes and signals respect role and scope. Care Partners see only the people they shepherd, and giving shows cadence, never amounts. Collie only ever reads redacted context, and only what your own account is already permitted to see.

Your church's data stays yours

Hosted securely with encrypted credentials, and exportable anytime. Children are excluded from the billing count by default.

Collie is a sheepdog, not a shepherd. It makes the invisible visible, so you can do what only a pastor can do: be present.

The FlockConnect philosophy

Questions

Everything a pastor asks first.

Is FlockConnect a replacement for Planning Center?

No. It works alongside it. Planning Center and other ChMS tools track attendance and giving; FlockConnect tracks the relationships between people. Our official two-way integration keeps your roster in sync, so you never double-enter anything.
