Multi-Site Church Networks

Every campus. Every visitor. No one missed.

Dwell gives multi-site church networks a single command center — with fully isolated campus workspaces, automated guest follow-up, and real-time visibility across every location.

The Problem

What church networks are dealing with today.

Campus Blind Spots

You can't see what's happening at location #3 without calling someone.

Visitor Fall-Through

First-time guests fill out a connection card and never hear back.

Duplicated Effort

Each campus reinvents their follow-up process from scratch, every week.

The Contrast

The Broken Status Quo vs. The Dwell Way

Area
❌ Old Way
✓ Dwell Way

Centralized in one Dwell network with per-campus isolation

First follow-up

Manual data entry into Planning Center after Sunday

Auto find-or-create — no duplicates, bidirectional sync

Network reporting

No cross-campus view without export gymnastics

Network dashboard with per-workspace drill-down

Staff coordination

Email threads and Slack DMs across three campuses

Role-based team access per campus, shared number routing

Guest experience

Generic form confirmation email — if they get one at all

Personalized keyword-triggered SMS within seconds of arrival

First Touch — 30-Second Reply

Marcus just moved to Atlanta and texted WELCOME after finding Grace Fellowship's website. Within 30 seconds: "Hey Marcus! Welcome to Atlanta 👋 We'd love to have you this Sunday at 10am." He felt seen before he'd walked in the door.

In-Person Capture

NFC Tap Before the Sermon Ends

Marcus showed up Sunday and tapped an NFC card held out by the usher. His contact was created instantly, and the welcome Path fired its first message before the sermon ended — no paper card, no data entry, no delay.

Nurture

Three Texts. Three Real Conversations.

Over three weeks Marcus received three naturally-spaced texts — a Young Adults night invite on Day 3, a small group link on Day 10, and a personal check-in on Day 21. Each reply opened a real conversation, not another automated blast.

Retention

Re-Engaged — PCO Card Created Automatically

Six months later Marcus went quiet. A re-engagement Path fired. Simultaneously, a CHANGE_GROUP step moved him to the "Lapsed Member" group — and a new Workflow Card appeared in Pastor David's PCO queue automatically. Marcus came back the next Sunday.

Team Level

Full Context. No Cold Intros.

When Marcus texted about volunteering, his Contact Journey showed every interaction — the welcome tap, the small group reply, the re-engagement conversation — so the volunteer coordinator responded with full context, not a cold intro.

“We used to find out about first-time guests on Tuesday. Now we know within 60 seconds — and they already have a message from us.”
