Sorry, we're not really going to install malware on someone's Rock server. We're going to briefly look at how Rock handles security and how it can be exploited.

From accidentally merging two people with separate user accounts to not regularly managing the security roles in your database you can't rely solely on software to keep your database safe. We'll take a look at how a few Google searches can give bad actors all the information they need to try and infiltrate your system and what kinds of procedures you should have in place to protect your system.

What if I told you that there are thousands of de-churched people in your city who would come to your church... if you just used your database differently? That's exactly what's happened at our church. Over the last four years, we've developed a system that gathers new contacts online using simple inbound marketing techniques, and then uses funneling systems in our database to slowly and strategically invite them to church. In this session we will explain how you can turn URL browsers into IRL churchgoers, giving you everything you'll need to bring dechurched people to your church, where they can encounter the transforming love of Jesus.
Does your church need a way to manage space and resources?

As a church grows, it can become increasingly challenging to keep up with every person. Fortunately, using Rock, it is possible to create a process to keep up with just about anything! At our church, we have invested a lot of time and resources into leveraging a variety of Rock features including Attendance History, Connection Statuses, Jobs, Workflows, Connection Requests, Dashboards, and most recently Power BI. These tools have been essential for helping us catch people before they are out the door, and they provide us with better visibility and accountability to make sure we are not missing anyone.
Maybe you're brand new to Rock, or maybe you want to recalibrate the way you equip your new and existing staff members.

Have you ever been asked something like... "Can you give me metrics on a Person Date (Attribute) or Step Started or Completed Date... and include some historical for comparisons... oh yeah and can you split it up by campus... and then keep those tracking so we can benchmark it going forward?" Just say "YES - today and today only, just for you, in our Rock Department we have a blue light special running on the metrics easy button !!!" In this session we'll show you how to set up historical metrics (& on going maintenance) on Person Attribute Dates or Step Dates via a Lava Shortcode. We'll set up some lava shortcode that allows you to pass it the ID of a person date attribute or the ID of a step item and the number of weeks (even years) back that you need to build out for your historical metrics. Once the history is built, you'll change the weeks back variable to a shortened time frame and the shortcode will then continue to maintain your metric data going forward. Whether you're organization has a single campus or multiple campuses, you'll define the campus(es) to track in a Global attribute and the shortcode will create "Metric Partitions by Campus" for one, some, or all of your campuses. If you or your team can copy/paste... in less than 24 hours you'll be ready to go with Person Date Attribute & Step Started or Completed metrics.

Are your ministry teams using multiple tools for scheduling, communication and training of serve team members/volunteers? Managing multiple tools can be a waste of resources and also a source of frustration and confusion.

Did you know the phrase “one another” is mentioned more than 50 times in the Bible?? Scripture exhorts us to bear one another’s burdens, to encourage one another and to love one another. In a digital world full of screens, it’s easy to forget the impact of being face to face. In the next year, our church is setting out to minister one to another and to seek out the ONE. And so, we’re setting an audacious goal to meet face to face with over 12,000 individuals in our community. In this session, we’ll discuss how our Rock data actually inspired this audacious goal, and how we are utilizing Rock to build processes, workflows, reports and metrics to support our staff as they seek to love well, change lives (through Christ, of course) and minister face to face (one to another) with tens of thousands of people in our church, community and world.

Are you relying on custom software to accomplish critical tasks in your people and data-management workflows? North Point Ministries definitely has been...but there's change on the horizon. Our custom-built software tool for managing application forms is nearing end of life. With BEMA's help, we've leveraged Rock's native features to create a tool for applicants to access and complete application forms, then have staff vet and manage those applications using Rock's Connections features. While we are still in the process of final testing and rollout, this change will help us sunset both an aging codebase and the time and budget required to maintain it or build another custom tool from scratch. We'd love to share what we've learned with you through this process of leaning more heavily into Rock's native features!
