How many of your people are in a group, serving on a team, in both, or in neither, and who the people in neither are, so you know whom to invite.

How to use it

  1. Open Reports, then the Participation tab.
  2. Choose a campus, or All campuses. There is no date range: participation is as of today.
  3. Read the numbers at the top, then the charts Participation by home campus (when there is more than one) and Participation by standing. Show as table gives the same numbers as a table.
  4. Under In neither a group nor a team, choose a name to open that person’s record and invite them in.
  5. Download CSV (if your role allows it) gives the people in neither, one row each, with their home campus and standing.

What each number means

  • Participation: the share of your people who are in a group or serving (or both). Under it: how many people were counted, adults and children.
  • In a group: an active member or leader of a group’s current season. A group that is archived, or a season that has ended, does not count.
  • Serving: an active member of a serve team.
  • In both and In neither: as they say. In neither is the list to look at.
  • By home campus: people are counted at the campus they call home; “No campus” is people without one.
  • By standing: the membership standing on each person’s record (Visitor, Attending, In process, Member, Inactive), or “No standing”.

Good to know

  • Children are counted but named only for roles that can see children’s records. If yours cannot, the list ends with “N children not shown”.
  • A role that cannot open people’s records sees how many are in neither, not their names.
  • Staff limited to campuses see the people whose home campus is one of theirs, and people with no campus.
  • Removed (deleted) people are not counted.

Coming from Planning Center

Planning Center Groups’ reports show “church participation”, the percentage of active people who are members of a small group (Groups, Reporting for Duty). HoW counts serving as well as groups, because a person on the welcome team is connected too, and names the people in neither so you can reach them, under the same rules as your directory.
