Your dashboard is the first thing you see. It answers the questions you would otherwise go looking for.

The numbers

Across the top: members, contacts, published courses, community posts, events, form submissions and receipts.
Every figure is either an exact count or nothing at all. Harvest does not show an estimate and call it a number — if a figure cannot be counted honestly, the card says so instead.

The tabs

Overview

Your ministry at a glance.

Growth

How your congregation is changing over time.

Giving

What has been recorded, over the last eight weeks.

Engagement

Who is actually opening the app and working through your material.

Content

How your articles and courses are doing.

Insights

Below the numbers, Harvest writes what changed in words — “Nobody has given for four weeks running” rather than a chart you have to interpret. These are comparisons against your own previous weeks, not benchmarks against other churches.
The insight worth acting on is usually the run-length one. A single quiet week is noise; four in a row is a pattern.

The giving figure and what it means

Your giving total counts recorded gifts. Money sitting in your PayPal that nobody has entered does not appear.If your dashboard says £0 and you know people gave, the gifts are waiting to be recorded.

What you will not find here

Harvest does not rank you against other churches, and does not tell you what a healthy number looks like. Those comparisons are almost always misleading — a rural congregation of forty and a city church of four hundred are not doing the same job. The dashboard shows you your own church, over time.
