The Church Dashboard Blueprint

Twelve numbers worth watching, which ones move first, and how to build the whole thing out of Planning Center.

What's inside

• The one rule for deciding whether a number earns a tile at all
• All twelve metrics, from attendance and giving to serving and groups, and why each one is on the list
• Which metrics lead and which lag, and why serving moves before giving does
• What does not belong on a dashboard, including the number most church software puts front and centre
• A spreadsheet build: one workbook, eight tabs, five exports and half an hour a week
• The two things to get right on day one: matching on person ID, and writing down your campus rule
• Where the spreadsheet stops, and which of the twelve Planning Center's own dashboards can and cannot hold
• A worksheet for choosing your first four metrics and naming an owner for each
