📋 Sunday Workflow

1. Open Sunday Intake → Select your church
2. Log attendance count, add any visitors, baptisms, pastoral needs, and highlights
3. Open Roll Call → Your member list auto-populates → Mark who attended → Submit
4. All data saves automatically — switch church and repeat if needed
5. Open Pastoral Care → Workbench to see who needs attention from today's service
6. The Dashboard "Today's Pastoral Attention" card will show any uncontacted absences right away

🤝 Pastoral Care Workbench

The Workbench is your daily care list — it auto-populates from four sources:
• Visitor follow-up steps — based on the 6-week timeline from their visit date
• Uncontacted absences — members who missed a service and haven't been reached
• Overdue prayer check-ins — active prayer requests past their follow-up date
• Manual follow-up tasks from the Follow-ups sub-tab

Items are grouped by urgency: 🔴 Overdue → 🟡 Due Today → 🔵 This Week → ⬜ Future.
Click 📞 Log Call or 💬 Log Text to open the contact modal — it pre-fills the suggested text template. After logging, set the next follow-up date and the item moves forward automatically.
Use ⏸ Snooze 3d to hide an item for 3 days without logging a contact.

📋 6-Week Visitor Follow-Up Timeline

Every visitor automatically gets an 11-step follow-up plan starting from their visit date. Steps are calls and texts spread over 6 weeks.
• Visitors tab — Each row shows a badge: "Wk 2 · Due in 3d" (blue), "Due today" (yellow), overdue (red), or ✅ All done
• 📋 Log button on each visitor row — opens the contact modal pre-filled with their next step and text template
• 👤 Profile button → shows the full 11-step timeline with ✅/🔴/⬜ status for each step and a Log button per step
• When you log a contact tied to a step, that step is marked complete automatically
• Contact History sub-tab — unified log of all calls and texts for every person

👥 How People Move Through the System

Sunday Track (Visitor → Member):
Log in Intake or the Visitors tab → they appear in Visitors with automatic follow-up tracking → convert to Member when ready.

Group Track (Group → Church):
Add them to a group roster → after they become regular, use "Register as Church Visitor" to bring them into Visitors → then convert to Member.

Key rules:
• Removing from a group never deletes the Member or Visitor record
• "Add Existing Visitor" / "Add Church Member" prevents duplicates on group rosters
• Profile modal shows group badges (📖 active, ✓ completed), baptism, attendance history, and now the full follow-up timeline

🔒 Privacy / Share Levels

Every record has a share level. Reports filter by this automatically:
Internal — Pastoral staff only. Never in newsletters or public posts.
Supervisor — Monthly supervisor reports.
Newsletter — Safe for donor newsletters.
Public — Safe for social media.

📖 Bible Studies & Groups

Open Studies/Groups → click Open → on any group to enter its detail view.
Inside: Roster (add people, track pipeline stage), Attendance (log sessions), Lessons (log what was taught).
Use "Add Existing Visitor" or "Church Member" to link without duplicates.

🌱 Church Planting Lifecycle

Plant stages: Prospect → Pre-Launch → Active (launched church) → Released (handed off)

Pipeline — Track target cities and prospect interns before a church is formally created.
Pre-Launch — A church in preparation. Work through the numbered launch checklist (customizable in Settings → Launch Checklist Template). Check off items as they are completed. When all checklist items are done (100%), an ✅ Approve to Launch button appears — click it to record the approval date, who approved, and notes. This moves the plant to Active status.
Active — A launched church. Track adults present, baptisms, and attendance goals. When the church is ready to be fully independent, click 🎉 Release Church to record the handoff pastor, release date, and approver. The church moves to Released status.
Released — Legacy record. Preserved with full milestone history, handoff pastor, and the original lead missionary.

Dashboard shows a live Church Planting overview (Active Plants Status, Released Legacy, Pipeline Summary, Overall Impact stats) every time you open it — no need to visit the Church Planting tab.

🚀 Launch Checklist Template (Settings)

Settings → Launch Checklist Template shows the global checklist shared by all church plants.
• Add Item — type a label and save; it is immediately added to every church's checklist (unchecked)
• ↑ ↓ buttons — reorder items; numbering updates in real time across all churches
• Edit — rename a label; the new name syncs to all churches
• ✕ Delete — removes the item from all churches (completion data for that item is lost — confirm before deleting)
The 100% completion threshold that unlocks Approve to Launch is based on this template's count.
