Hello
Thanks so much for this information. This is Kay from Our Savior Lutheran Church. Do.you all use paychex or any system to pay staff and bills, or do you have the treasurer write checks?
Thank you
Blessings
Kay

We are a fairly small congregation, and ushers typically do the counting for Sunday mornings. However, if the ushers didn't, it would be just as easy for the sound team to do a count during the sermon. We also have a Monday evening service, but not may people attend that, so Pastor or I do the count.

We keep track of attendance at worship services by having people sign the "friendship register," a book in each pew. Our ushers also count the total number people at each service (usually). This is hit or miss as people don't want to sign the book, forget or don't know they should unless the pastor mentions it.
We use Shepherd Staff attendance module and I've tried using the online feature with a tablet but it's slow to search through the people and add them. Maybe there's a shortcut I don't know about. I haven't researched it more.
In talking with friends who attend other churches, It turns out that many churches don't keep track of attendance.
Does your church track attendance and if so, how?
