Objective:

This article provides step-by-step guidance on how to create and share contact or connection forms to gather feedback, prayer requests, or volunteer sign-ups. By following these steps, your ministry can foster deeper engagement and connection within your community.

Why Use a Contact or Connection Form?

Engaging with your congregation or community is a vital part of your ministry’s health.

Contact forms, surveys, and prayer requests give your people a voice and invite participation—building a culture of care, involvement, and support.

Steps to a Successful Contact or Connection Form

1. Build the Form
   Use the Form Manager to create a form that fits your purpose—whether that’s gathering feedback, collecting prayer requests, or managing sign-ups.
2. Share the Form
   • Post your form across all communication channels:
     • Church website
     • Social media
     • Email newsletters
     • In-service announcements

Using Templates for Faster Setup

To make things easy, we’ve provided pre-built templates:

• Contact Form Template

You’ll find these templates in your Form Manager, located on the far-right side of your Giving Portal.

Each template includes commonly used Form Fields for its purpose. You can customize the fields by adding, removing, or editing them to better suit your needs.
