A: ChRM is a specialized category of church software focused on tracking and nurturing member relationships and spiritual growth, rather than administrative tasks like attendance and giving. Q: How is FlockConnect different from Planning Center or Breeze? A: Planning Center and Breeze are Church Management Systems (ChMS) focused on administration (attendance, giving, scheduling). FlockConnect is a Church Relationship Management (ChRM) tool focused on connection health, discipleship tracking, and AI-powered suggestions for building community. FlockConnect integrates with these ChMS systems. Q: What is the "5 connections" threshold? A: Research shows members with fewer than 5 meaningful relationships in their church are significantly more likely to leave. FlockConnect helps pastors identify and connect these at-risk members before they disengage. Q: Does FlockConnect replace my existing ChMS? A: No, FlockConnect complements your existing ChMS. It integrates with Planning Center, Breeze, CCB, Subsplash, Pushpay, and ChMeetings to sync member data while adding relationship-focused features your ChMS doesn't have. Q: Do church members need to create accounts? A: No! Members complete assessments via secure links without needing to log in or create accounts. FlockConnect is pastor-only software. Q: Is my church data secure? A: Yes. FlockConnect uses 256-bit encryption, follows GDPR/CCPA regulations, and stores data securely. Your congregation's data is never shared or sold.
