Connect cards
No paper. No retyping. No one forgotten.
Paper cards get lost in the office and typed up on Wednesday, if at all. With Shep, a new person fills in a short card on their own phone. No app, no login, and your team has their details before the car park empties.
Step 1
A short connect card on their own phone. No app, no login.
Step 2
They’re added to your people, sent to Elvanto if you use it, and your team can get a Slack alert.
Step 3
A leader picks them up this week, and they’re on their way to belonging.
Built for how Sundays actually run.
A QR code for every place
Seat cards, the welcome desk, the slide after the sermon. Each code is tracked separately, so you know what works.
Your questions, your words
Add your own questions, welcome message and thank-you note. Make email required, optional or hidden.
No double-ups
If someone’s already in your church, Shep matches them instead of creating a duplicate.
Straight into Elvanto
Turn on Elvanto sync and new people are added to your database too, matched by email or mobile.
Your team knows right away
Get a Slack message or webhook the moment a card comes in, so follow-up starts the same day.
See where people drop off
Scans, opens, starts and submissions, so you can see whether the card is too long or the QR is in the wrong place.
Then what?
The first visit is the start, not the finish.
Once someone is in Shep, connect them with a leader. That leader sees them in their list of people to reach, gets conversation starters, and logs each conversation as it happens. Over the following weeks, nobody has to wonder whether they were followed up.
Walk with your people on purpose.
We’re inviting a small group of founding churches to shape Shep with us.
