One app that keeps every Indiana pastor connected

Built around what Indiana Ministries already does: Thrive mentoring, three regional ambassadors, Crossroads 37, and the State Youth Convention. One view is what a pastor carries in his pocket. The other is what the Fishers office sees.

A working concept prepared for Jeff Matas by Rohit Jesudian, Socio Connect. Not an Indiana Ministries product. Program names and staff roles come from indianaministries.org. Every pastor, church, and number is sample data.

Good morning, Dan.

How is your soul this week?

Only you and your Thrive mentor see this answer.

Thanks, Dan. Pastor Carol will see this before your call on Thursday.

Who needs a call this week

The app flags these. An ambassador makes the call.
Thrive check-in answers stay between the pastor and their mentor. The office only sees who hasn't connected, never what they said.

Indiana Ministries owns the code, the data, and the relationships. When the grant ends, the connection doesn't.

An assistant for the Fishers team that gives back about 37 hours a week

It works from your own documents, your pastors, and your calendar. It drafts, finds, and follows up. A person approves anything before it reaches a pastor. Click a request to see it work.

Pick a request below. These are the jobs that eat your team's week.

It never reads Thrive check-in answers. Those stay between a pastor and his mentor.

0hours a week back for your team

Estimated across an 11-person team: 8 staff and 3 ambassadors.

These are estimates. In the first two weeks we measure your real baseline, then report the hours returned every month. If the number isn't there, you'll see it.
