Every pastor knows the sinking feeling of realizing a member has quietly slipped away — and wondering how they missed the signs. FlockConnect is a Church Relationship Manager (ChRM) built to solve that exact problem by tracking the horizontal connections between members, not just their attendance or giving.^1
Grounded in Flavil Yeakley's landmark research showing that active church members average 7+ friendships while those who leave average fewer than 2, FlockConnect maps relational networks across a congregation and flags members at risk of isolation before they disappear.^2 Its AI-powered companion, Collie — named after the faithful sheepdog — watches the relational edges of the flock, suggesting specific introductions based on shared interests, life stage, and proximity. Pastors interact with Collie through natural conversation to surface insights they'd otherwise miss.^2
Key capabilities include relationship network mapping, connection health scoring, automatic isolation alerts, discipleship pathway tracking, and pastoral care documentation. The platform integrates seamlessly with Planning Center, Breeze, Subsplash, Pushpay, and ChMeetings, or churches can import member data via CSV.^3 Available in English and Spanish, FlockConnect is designed for churches of 50–300 members and offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.^1
Notable- Founded by Michael Tribett, a product leader with 14+ years of software development experience^4
- Launched October 2025 with an active blog covering data-informed pastoral care and member retention research^5
