What it does
Most pastors spend the week with their head down. In the people, in the visits, in Sunday's preparation. They don't have the time to pull reports. So they don't see it when giving dips for three weeks. Or when sermon engagement falls off. Or when prayer-wall activity spikes (which is often a leading indicator that something pastoral is brewing).
Church Pulse is the single-page dashboard that surfaces those signals. Total people, active members, new joiners this week, prayer requests, sermon views, help-team requests, giving (week and month), upcoming events and active groups. Each tile carries a 7-day trend arrow and a 90-day sparkline.
These are leading indicators, not vanity metrics. You see the dip before it becomes the problem. Treasurer-level giving figures are gated separately, so only those with finance access see the pound figures. Refreshed nightly at 02:00 UK time.
