Online Worship Metrics

[Denice Turpin]

As part of our long range plan, I was tasked with finding out who is attending our services online. We worship at two campuses. One campus streams live on Facebook at 8:00 and the other campus streams live on YouTube at 9:30. We want to reach out to people who have not been attending church at all and part of that is determining who is attending online in some format. I was told that other churches have found a way to find out who these people are butI haven't found anything in an initial search. Any ideas?

Hi Denice –

 

I’m not aware of a technical way to capture who is watching online worship. The idea I’ve seen is to ask people watching online to fill out an online attendance form of some type. At my church, St Paul’s in North Mankato, MN, we have a paper “Connection Card” in the bulletin each week. There is also an online form version of the Connection Card, and a printed QR code that takes people to the form. The form is also linked on our Online Worship page on the website. At the beginning of the service and when we collect offerings, Pastor asks people to fill out the card and reminds them they can fill it out online if preferred or if they are worshipping with us remotely.

 

I hope that is helpful.
