Who Should Use Visitor Intake Forms?
Let's Get You Started!
SWAPP helps churches manage groups with less stress.
Why Visitor Intake Forms Matter More Than You Think
You’ve got new faces showing up to your church—awesome. But what happens next? A smile and handshake are great, but if there’s no intentional follow-up, that guest might slip right through the cracks. That's where Visitor Intake Forms come in.
Churches of every size are realizing that collecting visitor information isn’t just for the "big churches" with fancy systems. Even small ministries can use simple digital tools to engage people right away—and turn first-time visitors into lifelong disciples.
Who Benefits Most from Visitor Intake Forms?
The answer? Pretty much everyone involved in welcoming and following up with guests. But let’s break it down:
- Pastors: Get insight into who’s coming, what they're seeking, and how to engage them beyond Sunday.
- Hospitality Teams: Know who’s new so they can create warm, intentional connections right away.
- Follow-Up Coordinators: Use the info to schedule a call, send a text, or assign a ministry follow-up.
- Prayer Teams: Respond to spiritual needs right from the form submission.
With SWAPP’s New Visitor Intake, you can build forms that are mobile-ready, easy to manage, and fully integrated into your outreach system.
When Should You Use Visitor Forms?
It’s not just Sundays. Use intake forms:
- During weekend services
- At outreach events or holiday services
- On your church website or app
- During youth nights or small group gatherings
The more places you offer the form, the more chances you give people to connect with your church in a meaningful way.
Why It Matters for Growing Churches
Churches grow when relationships grow—and relationships start with connection. A visitor form helps you move from “Nice to see you” to “Let’s walk together.” With SWAPP, you can automate first touchpoints like welcome emails or texts, while keeping it personal.

Are visitor forms just for large churches?
Not at all. In fact, small churches benefit most from knowing who’s walking through the door each week.
What should we ask on a visitor form?
Name, contact info, how they heard about you, prayer requests, and any next-step interests like baptism or small groups.
Can the form work on mobile?
Yes—SWAPP’s intake forms are mobile-first, so they work great on phones and tablets.
Can we connect the form to a follow-up process?
Absolutely. You can trigger follow-ups through SWAPP features like Follow-Up & Outreach.
What if someone doesn’t fill it out?
Keep the form visible and offer gentle reminders. You can also offer QR code versions in-person or on screen.
