How to Take Attendance in SimpleChurch

When you are meeting in your groups, it is important to capture the attendance. In discipleship, one of the key ways to ensure someone is being discipled is to follow their presence in groups.

Acts 2:42 - And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

Find the SimpleChurchCRM app on your phone. If you need to download it,

go to either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store on your phone. It is a free download.

Find ATTENDANCE in the lower left of the screen. It will have a CHECK MARK above it.

Once you press ATTENDANCE, it will take you to this screen. If you are adding attendance from a different day, click the button that says TODAY and change the date. Otherwise, keep it as TODAY.

This is a scroll list. Find YOUR GROUP. For example, if I was adding attendance for EVANGELISM CLASS, I would find that group and click it.

Growth Groups will all start with the prefix GG

Once you select your group, you will see this screen come up. It will list everyone in your group. In the bottom right, you will see ADD A VISITOR. We will talk about that later.

Find the person you want and click their name. You will see a check mark appear next to their name. If someone new comes to your group who is in SimpleChurch, click the ADD A VISITOR at the bottom of the screen.

To add someone already in SimpleChurch, you will either scroll through this list OR, the easier way is to start typing the person’s name in the search bar at the top of the screen.

Once you start typing their name, their file will appear below the search bar. Just click the person’s name to add them to your attenders.

You can see that this person has now been added at the bottom of your group and it places a VISITOR tag on them. This is important because the more we can track visitors to our groups the more we know if our groups are growing or stagnating.

If you have someone who is not in SimpleChurch, click the ADD A VISITOR

If the person is not in SimpleChurch, once you click the ADD A VISITOR on the last screen, you have an option to click the PLUS SIGN to get to the next page.

You now have the option to add a visitor. Click ADD VISITOR.

It will bring up this screen where you can add the person’s FIRST and LAST NAMES. When you have added them, click SAVE in the upper right.

You will see the person that we added in the bottom of the group with a VISITOR tag on their name.

Once you are completed adding all your people, attenders and visitors, click SAVE at the top of the page on the left. That will save your information.
