Case Study: Immanuel Lutheran Church achieves streamlined communications and efficient online registrations with Intellistack

How Immanuel Lutheran Uses Formstack, Highrise, & Backpack

Immanuel Lutheran Church, a mid‑size congregation and preschool–8 school in the northwest Chicago suburbs, needed an easy, user‑friendly, cost‑effective way to support members and extend community outreach. With limited technical and clerical resources, they required a simple but powerful web‑based solution to manage registrations, volunteer sign‑ups, surveys and other communications without overburdening staff.

They implemented Formstack for online registrations, surveys and applications, and paired it with Highrise for contact management and Backpack for ministry communications. Using features like conditional logic, smart email routing, web‑based submission review and mobile access, the trio streamlined processes for VBS, Sunday School, confirmations, employment applications and more—reducing staff workload, improving member communication and maximizing ministry impact.
