01
The pastor comes first, not the chart.
The point is never a pretty graph. It is a pastor who understands their church better than they did last week. Every screen in the app gets judged by that.
About Disciplytics
A data scientist
at the service of the Church.
Disciplytics exists because pastors deserve better than either guesswork or a generic business dashboard. I have spent nearly a decade helping organizations hear what their data is saying, and the last five of those years listening for what it says about the local church. The app is that work, packaged up.
Background
Trained in analytics. Formed by the church.
Disciplytics grew out of two convictions: that data, done well, is a form of listening \u2014 and that the local church is where most of the questions worth answering actually live.
8 years
as a working data scientist turning data into insight for decision-makers.
5 years
helping churches use data better to understand and serve their people.
BA · Economics
the discipline of how people, systems, and incentives actually behave.
MS · Analytics
the rigor of statistical method applied to real-world questions.
For eight years I've built data systems and led analyses for organizations trying to understand people they can't possibly sit across from individually. For the last five, I've turned that same work toward churches — helping pastors and leadership teams read their congregations with the same care, and considerably more discernment, than any dashboard alone can offer.
Disciplytics is what that work became: software built for churches instead of corporations \u2014 with me still available when a church wants more than the app can do on its own.
The approach
How Disciplytics thinks about data.
Any tool can produce a chart. The harder part is reading it well, in the context of your church, with the weight it deserves. These are the rules the app and everything around it are built on.
02
Numbers are indicators, not verdicts.
A low Discipleship score is not a failing grade. It is a reason to ask a better question. The app is built to point you toward questions, not verdicts.
03
Rigor stays behind the curtain.
Segmentation, weighting, response-quality checks — those are my problem. What you see is the finding in plain English and a couple of things worth trying.
04
It has to survive the room.
A finding nobody acts on is not really a finding. That is why the app writes things the way a person would say them — and why I will sit in on the meeting when a church asks me to.
05
Learning is a rhythm, not a project.
Churches change, and so does the ground they are planted in. The app syncs nightly for exactly this reason: the value shows up when you keep looking.
Who Disciplytics serves
Churches and leaders who take their fields seriously.
Local churches
Congregations that want a clear read on their own health — especially pastors who lead by listening and want a better way to hear the whole church.
Churches in transition
Churches walking through a pastoral change, a building project, a growth spurt or a hard season — and want to go in with clear eyes.
Church networks & denominations
Regional bodies that want a consistent read across many congregations, without flattening them into a leaderboard.
Seminaries & training programs
Schools forming pastors who will one day need to read their own churches. We partner on curriculum, tooling and cohort research.
A guiding conviction
“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.”
Disciplytics is built on the assumption that growth belongs to God, and that faithful ministry means paying careful attention to the field He has given you to steward. Data is one of the tools that helps a pastor pay attention. It is never the point.
