GHC Basics GHC exists to help ministry leaders intuitive discern insights about the health and growth of their church. We do this by: helping leaders better use their church management system synthesising and displaying data in helpful ways shared network trends empower churches to collaborate on improving church health within their regions by exchanging insights and growth initiatives.

Church Management Systems tend to focus on current ministry data and typically do not provide information on changes and trends to health measures in a readily accessible form. GHC Trends seeks to fill this gap by recording key measures into a third party
