Features

Everything your team needs.
Nothing you don't.

NextStep Metrics is purpose-built for church discipleship — not adapted from generic CRM software. Every feature was designed around how pastoral teams actually work.

Engagement Scoring

Seven metrics. One clear picture.

Every member receives a composite engagement score based on seven discipleship indicators, normalized to 100 points. The score updates automatically as you record new data.

Worship Attendance — tracked over a rolling 8-week window
Sunday Groups — attendance over the last 8 weeks
Small Group — months active in the last 6 months
Serving — serving activity over the last 8 weeks
Classes — number of classes or studies completed
Giving — active giving in the last 90 days
Membership Status — formal membership in the church

Each metric is individually toggleable. Only track what matters to your church.

Discipleship Pathway

Track every member's journey, not just their attendance.

Assign each member to a step in your church's discipleship pathway and see where your congregation is concentrated — and where the gaps are.

The default pathway mirrors a Know → Grow → Go → Give → Lead model, but every step is fully customizable to match your church's language and process.

Filter your member list by pathway step to quickly surface who's ready to move forward and who needs a conversation.

Smart Next Steps

The app tells you what to say. You decide when to say it.

For every lagging or disengaged member, NextStep Metrics calculates which single metric would most improve their engagement score and surfaces a pastoral suggestion for your team.

These are suggestions, not directives. Your staff sees a human-readable prompt — not raw score math.

Staff can accept the suggestion as their next step goal, modify it, or write something entirely different. The intelligence informs the conversation; it doesn't replace it.
