See how Maven would help your church welcome people.
Bring a group or a gathering. We’ll walk through planning, first visits and the work your staff would hand to Maven.
Book a demoHow do we start using Maven?
Start with one group and one task for Maven. We’ll agree which records it needs, who it can contact and which actions staff must approve.
What if we still need another system?
Maven is designed to run your groups, sign-ups and member records. If another system needs to stay, we’ll agree how Maven works with it.
What can staff control?
Your staff decide who Maven can contact and which actions need approval. You can review its work, pause follow-up and edit records directly.
Does Maven keep following up after the conversation ends?
Yes. Maven remembers unanswered questions and agreed check-in times. It resumes the follow-up when a reply arrives or the agreed time comes, and asks staff when a decision needs approval.
How do members choose to hear from Maven?
Members opt in to text or email. Maven respects contact choices, quiet hours and requests to stop.
