5 Days of Fable: Church CRM

I've challenged myself to build something new with Fable 5 every day until July 7th.

This project focused on 2 things that I am unfamiliar with: Church Online Technology and CRMs. I grew up in a small church all my life and even served on the tech team there. My main responsibilities were more about in-house technology. Things like showing lyrics or changing audio levels. I don't really know how a CRM would work in a church like mine. Its small and the pastor was able to visit with each person individually. But with a large church, that might be hard for a pastor to meet with every person every Sunday. But that doesn't mean that the pastor can't be present.

This Church CRM focuses on tending to the needs of the church and recognizing patterns to allow the pastor to reach out and be involved beyond just Sundays. At this stage, it is just a pastor's dashboard, but there is plenty of room for expansion and some features are already outlined to easily work with other users.

Core features:

When someone fills out a connect card, their information can be uploaded to the CRM
The CRM tracks things like attendance, important dates, and volunteers
Can create tasks to remind you to reach out
This CRM allows people to sign up for an event and volunteers
Members can fill out prayer cards for a Prayer Team
The ability to send messages to individuals, groups, or the whole congregation

Just an idea I was messing around with. I don't really know the practical applications of it because I didn't grow up in a church that needed anything like this. If this is helpful for you or you have any advice for how to make a CRM work in a church setting, let me know.
