Pastoral judgment boundary
TendWell is for churches that already have names somewhere, but need a trustworthy practice for current care: prayer, visits, visitors, private notes, follow-up, assignments, and weekly review. It is strongest when leaders are trying to keep real people from slipping out of view.
A spreadsheet can store rows and a notes app can capture thoughts. TendWell connects the care story: person, household, prayer wording, private context, visits, assignments, due dates, and review. The value is a live view of the care priority and the next action.
Keep your broad directory, spreadsheet, or existing records where they work. TendWell is the focused care workspace beside them. Start with the people currently being followed for prayer, visits, visitor follow-up, or assigned care.
Yes. TendWell can turn a spreadsheet, contact export, or directory file into a focused first care list. Start with the people who need prayer, visits, visitor follow-up, or assigned care during the trial.
An active care record is a person currently being followed for prayer, visits, visitor follow-up, elder or deacon ownership, or an assigned next step. It is not your total attendance number and it is not meant to become your entire church directory.
TendWell keeps public-safe prayer wording distinct from private pastoral context. That means leaders can prepare prayer lists and reports without casually exposing details that belong in guarded care. Role-based access also limits what helpers can see.
Urgent safety concerns, emergency response, medical care, therapy, legal advice, abuse reports, and mandatory reporting belong in the proper outside channels first. TendWell can help document ordinary follow-up after the church has handled the required response.
TendWell gives authorized owners and admins practical recovery tools: church data export, encrypted recovery packages, checksum manifests, package verification, and clear guidance for storing recovery files under the church's own policy.
Yes, with careful setup. Pastors and administrators can keep the fuller care picture, while elders, deacons, secretaries, or other helpers can be limited to assigned people, assigned follow-ups, and public-safe context.
Use the trial for a normal church week: add a focused care list, capture Sunday conversations, create follow-ups, invite another leader if needed, run a weekly review, and prepare a care report. By the end, your church can judge whether TendWell made care more visible.
Most churches can start with the Church trial because it gives enough room to test shared care while staying focused. Solo fits one primary leader. Care Team fits churches with more structured elder, deacon, staff, or visitor follow-up ownership. You can adjust before payment.
No. TendWell does not require a long contract. You can cancel anytime. Monthly plans remain available through the paid month, and yearly plans remain available through the paid year.
TendWell supports memory, order, privacy, and follow-through while your church keeps pastoral wisdom, confidentiality practices, reporting duties, and broad administration in the right hands. It gives active care a focused place to stay visible.
