How it works
Here is the whole thing, in the order a guest and your staff actually live it.
Start to finish
The first two happen in the seat. The rest happen on your side, in VISTA.
One
A QR code on the seat back, the bulletin or the tag you already print.
Two
A short welcome in your colors. Name, number, how they heard.
Three
Every guest lands on the New Here list with someone responsible for them.
Four
A text from your church's number, personal to them.
Five
Eight stages from new guest to home. The board shows who is stuck.
Six
Honest questions and three teams that fit.
Seven
The finder matches their season and their week.
Eight
Your staff places them. The leader knows who is coming.
VISTA
Guests use their own phone in the seat. Your team uses VISTA on a phone in the lobby or a laptop in the office. Nobody installs anything.
One person carries everything on one record: New Here, the path, serving, groups and every text. Planning Center works both ways. Students under 18 are handled carefully.
All of it
Every feature comes in every plan, at one price.
Guests
A two minute welcome from the seat, in your colors.
Sundays
People tap in each week, and every service is counted.
Families
Every kid with their parent, birthdays and postcards included.
People
Ask for who you want in plain words.
The path
See who is moving and who has stalled.
Leaders
Each leader opens to their people and their day.
Texting
A group text where each person gets their own.
Serving
Checks tracked, and a link sent before one expires.
Placement
Three teams that fit, and a group for their week.
Calendar
Events from Planning Center, birthdays and who is serving.
Newsletter, Impact Report and End of year, with who opened it.
Planning Center
Workflow cards, leaders and check ins go back.
Giving
Notice who is slipping away while there is still time.
Staff
Every task has an owner everybody can see.
Team
Hand someone on and the new owner hears right away.
Owners
Everyone without an owner gets a suggested one, and why.
Launch
A launch is a build, not a login. We set up your ministries and positions, load your groups, put your mark on the welcome, make your codes, and train your team.
Then it is yours, with your name on it, monthly or owned outright.
It depends on how fast your staff can sit down for the conversations that matter: your vision words and what each position needs. We put a date on it on the first call.
No. VISTA works both ways with it if you have it and runs on its own if you do not.
A list, a clock and a next step. Leaders see their people; staff see everyone.
Yes. The home page plays the whole thing, and the VISTA demo runs on sample data.
Then book fifteen minutes and we will talk about yours.
