Every week, pastors and ministry leaders make decisions that shape people's lives — and good decisions start with good data. Church Metrics gives your ministry a free, purpose-built dashboard to track attendance, salvations, giving, volunteers, baptisms, and any custom category you can count.^1
Originally created by Life.Church and now stewarded by Gloo, Church Metrics is trusted by thousands of churches worldwide.^2 The web platform and mobile apps (iOS and Android) let your team input numbers in real time during services — parking lot tallies, kids ministry headcounts, main auditorium attendance — all flowing into one shared dashboard with interactive charts, customizable reports, and even weather integration so you can correlate trends with conditions on the ground.^3
Multi-site churches can toggle between campuses, and denominations or church plant networks can create private Groups to see their combined data at scale.^4 Reports can be scheduled and delivered straight to your inbox. There's also full API access for teams that want to visualize data with third-party tools.^3
Gloo, the platform behind Church Metrics, is a publicly traded technology company (Nasdaq: GLOO) serving the faith ecosystem.^5 Founded by Scott Beck in 2013, Gloo reported $41.5M in Q1 2026 revenue — a 238% year-over-year increase that beat analyst estimates — building on $94.7M in fiscal 2025 revenue with full-year 2026 guidance of $190M.^6 The company has grown through acquisitions including Westfall Group (donor engagement), Enterprise MarketDesk (Workday services), and the remaining stake in Midwestern Interactive, an AI-enabled global talent engine supporting Gloo's expansion.^7 Pat Gelsinger, the former CEO of Intel and VMware, serves as Executive Chairman and Head of Technology.^5
In June 2026, Gloo and YouVersion launched a Global Developer Challenge to foster digital Scripture innovation, inviting builders worldwide to create tools that deepen engagement with God's Word.^15 Gloo is also hosting its 2026 AI Hackathon (Oct 6–8, Boulder, CO), themed "Building Together: Humans, Agents and the Future of Flourishing," with $250K in prizes for applied AI tools serving churches and ministries.^12
Gloo and Barna Group continue their ongoing State of the Church research initiative, with 2026 findings revealing that nearly one in three U.S. adults say spiritual advice from AI is as trustworthy as advice from a pastor — and that a majority of pastors now report using AI in their ministry, even as many voice concerns about its role.^8
