Data and insights for church growth and outreach

Are you frustrated with…

  • Trying to build a plan for church growth with no direction?
  • Not bringing more people from your local community through your church doors?
  • Your outreach and local mission efforts falling short?
  • Not having a clear idea of what your local community needs?
Better understand your people

Learn your congregation’s preferences and identify household and lifestyle information to help you plan small groups, communications, and other engaging opportunities.

Tailor your outreach efforts

Key behavioral, socio-economic, financial, religious, and demographic characteristics can help you tailor your ministry efforts to the people you’re trying to reach.

Plan for the future

Determine demographic and lifestyle trends of your community and project future trends so you can adapt and shift as needed when planning for the future of your ministry.

Discover where to start

Use data to drive your church planting efforts by knowing the gaps in denominational presence, the demographics of your area, and opportunities to partner with existing congregations.

Open a world of opportunities for your ministry.

We understand how much pressure rests on ministry leaders to grow and sustain even as their congregations and the communities around them change year after year. It can be frustrating to plan ministry outreach and member opportunities without knowing what is truly needed. This is why we’re passionate about MissionInsite and the church analytics it provides you to make informed decisions that can drive your ministry’s growth, increase member engagement, and make planning for the future exciting again!

At ACST, we know you want to engage your members and reach those in your local community to invite them into your ministry. To do that best, you need data that helps you understand your congregation and community better. The problem is you’ve never used data to this degree to plan for your ministry, and you’re overwhelmed at the thought of an enormous amount of data to weed through. We understand you need actionable plans to move forward, and we believe data shouldn’t be a roadblock but instead a catalyst to drive you farther ahead. This is why we feel confident in MissionInsite, our web-based church analytics tool that provides the insights into your congregation and community you need to grow and sustain your ministry. Request a demo to take a look at how MissionInsite can remove the weight of feeling stuck and help you start making informed decisions for your ministry today.

To love your neighbor, you must know your neighbor.

Thousands of ministries are using MissionInsite to understand their communities and congregations on a deeper level.

“We think we know who’s around us, but we really don’t until we begin looking at something like MissionInsite that has really effective tools to shed light on who our neighbor is. We’re to be in ministry with our neighbor, but who is our neighbor? MissionInsite tells us that.”

Maggie Corrigan

“It’s necessary to use data so that we avoid planning just from looking at history, gut reactions, emotions, or agendas brought to the team. We have to take a realistic look at what is in our community.”

Extend Your Outreach

as a Pastor and Church Leader

missioninsite logo white

How can you plan to reach those around you if you don’t know who they are? We don’t mean you have to be on a first-name basis with every person in your community. But you do have to grasp the big picture of who your neighbors are.

By getting a clear picture of your current congregation and a better understanding of who your neighbors are, you can clearly identify your mission field.

And once you know who you’re trying to reach, the “how” comes much easier! We cover that and more in this on-demand webinar, Extend Your Outreach as a Pastor and Church Leader. 

Here are some key points from the event:

  • Successful outreach starts by understanding who your congregation is today.
  • Then, you’ll want to dive into who your neighbors are and how your congregation compares to those demographics.
  • With the above insights, you can identify your mission field as the “who” and start planning the “how”, “when”, and “where” of your next outreach effort.
  • MissionInsite, a community analytics tool by ACS Technologies, allows you to do all of the above and more so you plan effective outreach with confidence.

We’d love to chat about how MissionInsite can help you extend your ministry’s reach in your surrounding communities. Fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch soon.

Are you struggling to…

  • Hack your systems to meet your unique ministry needs?
  • Find time to complete daily tasks?
  • Plan for today and the future with little or no data to support your initiatives?
  • Keep up with planning mission trips and outreach opportunities?

Your software can make or break your ministry efforts. ACS Technologies is here to help. We provide scalable, flexible, and customizable solutions backed by best-in-class support and training to equip you to spend less time on manual tasks and more time chasing the lost sheep.

MinistryPlatform

Organize your data to fit your church’s unique ministry needs

Your church is unique, so finding a system that supports your processes, terminology, reporting needs, and more is challenging. MinistryPlatform has all the tools you need out-of-the-box to track and automate your day-to-day tasks, but is also highly customizable and can continuously be built to scale with your church as it grows, including adding multiple campuses. APIs allow you to integrate other systems to meet your complete set of needs.

Growth Method

Connect, Nurture and Build Relationships that Matter

Church engagement is the line that separates members who feel lost and disconnected from those who feel valued and at home. We speak with churches daily who feel out of touch with many walking through their doors. If you carry these same fears, you are not alone. With holistic visibility across your entire church, Growth Method is your guide on where to direct your span of care and your partner in discipling those needing spiritual community. Equip your staff with the tools to accelerate visitor follow-up, personalize one-on-one communication, and track individual spiritual progress with Growth Method.

Go Method

Manage every mission trip detail, document, and dollar from one location

Planning a mission trip requires meticulous attention to detail. The time and effort required to check all the boxes can overwhelm even the most dedicated ministry leaders. What if there was a solution that minimized manual admin and maximized your focus on the mission? Go Method fills that void, helping mission trip leaders achieve significant time savings and increased efficiency. Track trip progress, automate communication, raise funds, and go paperless, all from one application. “Go and make disciples of all nations,” is much easier with Go Method.

MissionInsite

Insights to maximize your impact and plan for the future

We understand how difficult it is for churches to make impactful decisions for their ministry, especially when they’re missing concrete data to support the “why” behind their efforts. These are big decisions, and you don’t want to guess if you’re making the right moves when you could know. Discover unique demographic information about your community and identify trends and preferences within your congregation to better plan for your ministry and outreach moving forward.

A Thriving Ministry

We know how much time is wasted when a church is using outdated software, or even multiple programs, to manage the ins and outs of keeping a ministry afloat. For most churches we speak with, the majority of the work-load rests on the shoulders of a few dedicated staff members and volunteers who feel led to serve, so it’s crucial that they have tools to adequately support roles within the church. We understand how important it is for a church to have a software solution that is secure, easy to use, and that provides tools for all areas of its ministry. That’s why we created Realm to serve the whole church, providing the tools you need to keep your doors open and help you accomplish your mission.

“It took them three days to reconcile all the credit card transactions and the bill pays, putting all that information into Realm Accounting. So, the first project I worked on was to take all that data, transform it, and create an import for Realm. I’ve got two imports built, and I reduced that time from three days to a couple of hours.”

Audra Nelson

Financial/Administrative Assistant

“I’ve used Realm in many ways and been involved in several ministries. I’m the Volunteer Coordinator for one, and I find Realm very useful. So I wanted to just bring as much of the data up to date as possible. I love queries because you can narrow the scope of information and get exactly what you need. It’s one of my favorite things about Realm”

Eunice Tompkins

Volunteer, Pompey Community Church

“During the COVID shutdown, having online giving in place helped maintain our weekly giving. Working through Vanco has been wonderful; there have been no issues of any kind. The only suggestion I would make for new churches converting to Realm would be to auto-post the contributions. I opted not to because I didn’t have a comfort level and created more work. The auto-posting is awesome!”
