Better connections. More informed care.
Do you know who’s coming to church?
Know who’s coming, see which guests return, and notice when someone may need a personal connection.
WiFi Presence helps your church turn guest WiFi connections into attendance insights for follow-up and pastoral care.
A fresh approach to guest WiFi
From a WiFi connection to a personal connection
Our new cookie-based approach is designed to work with the MAC address anonymization used by modern iOS and Android phones, with streamlined onboarding and the ChMS integration and rich attendance data your team values.
Connect and get started
Guests connect to your church’s compatible WiFi and complete the onboarding experience.
Recognize return visits
Cookie-based recognition helps connect subsequent WiFi visits with an onboarded guest. Recognition depends on the device retaining the cookie and connecting through the supported WiFi experience.
Give your team context
Use attendance insights, reports, and church management system integration to inform guest follow-up and pastoral care.
How WiFi Presence Helps Your Church
Better Guest Follow-Up. More Informed Pastoral Care.
Help More Guests Connect
Give guests another way to connect with your church through WiFi onboarding, so your team has more opportunities to start a conversation.
Understand Guest Trends
Know how many first-time guests make return visits and how many are still attending months later.
Know Who Is Missing
Attendance insights can help your team notice when a participating guest or attender has not been seen recently, offering a starting point for a personal check-in.
Put Insights Into Action
Attendance information where your team already works.
Understand the connection
Recognition, participation, and your questions
Attendance insights are one part of the picture. Use them to start a conversation and understand people’s needs.
Does WiFi Presence identify everyone who enters the building?
The new approach uses WiFi onboarding and cookie-based recognition. It should not be treated as a complete headcount of everyone in the building.
What happens if someone clears their cookies?
Cookie-based recognition depends on the cookie remaining available. Clearing cookies or using a different device or browser can interrupt recognition. Ask us to demonstrate how onboarding and return visits work on your church’s setup.
What information does our church receive?
WiFi Presence provides guest and attendance insights, reports, and ChMS integration. During your walkthrough, we’ll review the information available in the updated workflow and how your team can use it.
How should we communicate this to guests?
Make the WiFi onboarding experience clear about recognition and the information your church collects. Include participation and privacy questions in your walkthrough so your team can review the workflow before rollout.
Will our WiFi equipment and ChMS work?
A compatible business WiFi system with captive portal support is required. We support several ChMS products and offer import and export options. Tell us what you use so we can review compatibility with you.
