Church Attendance Registration

When you want to register your church attendance, go to Church Attendance in the Calendar module.

Here you will be presented with a table of all the events that have been created in the calendar. Here you can fill in the fields that are relevant for each event. After an entry, the number will automatically be saved in the system and at the next update of the page, all reports will be moved to the next tab “Edit and Export”.

Tip! Are there events from the Calendar that are not being shown? Add them by pressing the “Add events” button in the top right corner.

What can i count?

You can count the total number of participants, as well as baptisms, confirmations, and communion. We have also added a field for other purposes, e.g., how many participate in the church coffee after the service, etc.

Total (Can be sent to sogn.dk)
Baptism (Can be sent to sogn.dk)
Confirmations (Can be sent to sogn.dk)
Communion
Other (e.g., church coffee after the service, or sandwiches after the concert)

Choose a priest

When reporting the count, you can also indicate who was the priest at the service or the ecclesiastical act. Here you can choose between the users in ChurchDesk.

Counting category

A counting category is only relevant if your diocese uses other categories than those found in Sogn.dk. If this is the case, you will be asked to choose a separate category for the registration.

Report Church Attendance on Mobile

ChurchDesk Church Attendance allows you to register directly via our app, making it easy and quick to handle it directly during or immediately after the event.

Get reminded

To make it easier to remember to register church attendance, we will send a push notification via the app. This message will be sent to the people who are reserved for the event.

The first reminder is sent 10 minutes after the event has started and the second reminder is sent 10 minutes after the end time of the event.

If you no longer wish to receive these, you can turn them off under your user settings.

Report to Sogn.dk

ChurchDesk automatically synchronizes to Sogn.dk and later the diocese, so you don’t have to log in and do this. The only thing you need to ensure is that the event has already been exported to Sogn.dk - after that, the rest happens automatically.

As soon as a count is reported to ChurchDesk, our system starts sending it off to Sogn.dk. Note that it can take up to 5 minutes before it can be seen on sogn.dk.

Edit Church Attendance

Previous church attendances can be found in the “Edit and Export” tab. From here, previous counts can be corrected.

Tip! If you have many events, it may be easier to choose the event category or the date in the filter above the table.

Export Church Attendance

When you need to export your counts from ChurchDesk, you can click the “Export” button.

You can get your counting data exported in the following formats: CSV, EXCEL, ODS

If you only want to export counts for example your baby rhythm events, just use the filter above the table.

Press the “All events” button
Select “Baby rhythm”
Press the “Update table” button
Press “Export”

Analyze Church Attendance

With good participant statistics, it is easier to find out what works and what doesn’t.

Visualizing numbers can make it easier to understand and communicate relationships. We are currently working on coming up with tools for just that.
