Church Metrics is designed to work for churches of all sizes — whether you’re a single-campus church, a multi-site ministry, or even a network of programs or departments. Setting up campuses is one of the first steps to using Church Metrics, and you can also organize them further with regions and tags.
How To: Campus
Creating a Campus
Whether you are a single-campus or multi-campus church, creating a campus is essential for tracking data.
Click on your profile name.
Click Admin.
In the left-hand navigation, select Campuses.
Then click on Create Campus.
Fill in the following fields
Click Save to create your campus.
Campus Field Definitions
Campus Name – The name of your campus (required).
Description – Optional notes about your campus, only visible on this page.
Time Zone – Setting the correct time zone for each campus will give more accurate reporting (required).
Code Capacity – Often used for online campus codes (optional).
Chair Capacity – Often used to notate the seating capacity for this campus (optional).
Active – Check this box if you want this campus to immediately appear in Input and reporting. Leave unchecked if you’re not ready to track data yet.
Adding Tags to Campuses
Tags allow you to organize your campuses into custom groups (by region, leader, size, etc.). These tags can then be used in reports, charts, and dashboards for easier filtering and comparisons.
Click on your profile name.
Click Admin.
In the left-hand navigation, select Campuses.
Click on Add Tag to add tags to your various campuses.
To remove a tag, click the X next to it.
💡 Tip: Standardize your tags across campuses (e.g., “North Region,” “Youth-Focused”) so reports remain consistent.
Using Campuses, Departments, and Regions
Church Metrics lets you organize and view your data at different levels.
Campus-Level Tracking
Each campus can have its own service times.
Categories (like Attendance, Giving, Salvations) can be shared across all campuses for consistent reporting.
User permissions can limit which campuses a staff member can see or enter data for.
Department-Level Tracking
If your ministries operate across locations, create categories specific to departments (e.g., Kids Ministry, Outreach).
You can log data for departments even if they aren’t tied to a specific service time.
Regions for Higher-Level Grouping
Regions let you group multiple campuses together for reporting.
Examples:
Regions as Countries
Germany Region (Berlin + Munich campuses)
Regions as Program Families
Leadership Development Region (All Training Centers across all campuses)
⚠️ The terms Campus and Region are system labels and cannot be renamed in menus or reports. However, you can rename individual campuses/regions.
Deleting a Campus
If you no longer need a campus:
Click on your profile name.
Click Admin.
In the left-hand navigation, select Campuses.
Then delete the campuses you no longer need.
Important Note: Deleting a campus permanently removes all associated data. This action cannot be undone. If you’re unsure, export your data first before deleting.
