Most pastors know their congregation on Sundays — but what about Monday through Friday? Scatter is a survey and insights platform from Made to Flourish that gives church leaders a detailed picture of their congregation's daily work, professional skills, and personal passions, bridging what many call the "Sunday-to-Monday gap."^1
Here's how it works: your church sends out a short mobile survey (about 25 questions, roughly 5–7 minutes) that asks congregants about their occupation, industry, workplace sentiments, faith practices at work, and the skills and causes they care about. Scatter then turns those responses into a real-time dashboard with filtering, segmentation, and insights — so a pastor can see, at a glance, how many nurses, teachers, entrepreneurs, or retirees sit in their pews each week, and how connected (or disconnected) those people feel between their faith and their work.^2
Built by Made to Flourish — a national nonprofit founded by pastor Tom Nelson after decades of ministry at Christ Community Church in Kansas City — Scatter is rooted in a theology of vocation drawn from Ephesians 4:11-12: equipping the saints for the work of ministry.^3 Made to Flourish now serves over 11,500 pastors across 23 city networks nationwide, and Scatter is their flagship digital tool for turning that theology into action.^4
Why Pastors Love It"Scatter provides direction for shepherding my congregation and insight for how I can be praying for people, and it helps me know how I can follow up for pastoral visits in the workplace… This is such a powerful tool and I am looking forward to deploying this further." — Tucker Anderson, Associate Pastor, River City Minneapolis^1
"People generally do not make the connection between the work they do and God's calling. [Scatter] helped us see that while we often highlight God's calling on clergy, we also need to help our congregants who are not [pastors] see that God has placed a calling on their lives." — Laura Vail, Senior Leader, Church of the Redeemer^1
"Our Deacons have been looking for a tool to help us know what our people are skilled in so that they help those in need — this is the tool we've been looking for." — Benjie Slayton, Lead Pastor, Grace + Peace Church^1
