Take a Look at the Enhanced Pastoral Visits View

Anyone in ministry knows how important is to visit with church members who are sick, homebound, lonely, going through a life change, or simply need someone to talk to. With the enhanced Pastoral Visits view in Church360° Members, these visits are easier to organize and manage. 

Why Log Pastoral Visits?

Just like how tracking attendance helps determine the health of a congregation and its members, logging pastoral visits helps promote regular and well-documented pastoral care to those who need it. With Church360° Members, you can log visits, visitees, types of visits, notes, and more—all with customized visibility. 

With these detailed logs, pastors can consult their notes if they ever wonder:

• When was the last time I visited Jane?
• Did I already chat with the Johnson family about how they could get involved?
• How many miles did I travel to visit John last week?

What’s New in the Pastoral Visits View 

With the new Pastoral Visits view, you can create much more in-depth logs for your visits. This presents an exhaustive summary of the visit for any staff member or elder who needs it. 

New Log Entries

• Visit Type: Choose from all default and custom types that have ever been used for this field.
• Mileage: Mark your mileage for fuel reimbursement. 
• Length of Visit: Keep track of the duration of your visits.
• Notes: Write custom notes, now with more text formatting options.
• Visibility Customization: Not everyone needs to see who you’re visiting and why; toggle different visibility settings to keep information confidential.
