Case Study: Lake Forest Church achieves faster, data-driven ministry reporting with Jotform Report Builder

How a Church Uses Reports to Improve Services and Offer Support

Lake Forest Church, a multi‑campus congregation near Charlotte, needed an easier way to collect and act on volunteer feedback, registrations, and applications across its four sites and preschool program. Systems coordinator Jenn Poppen relies on Jotform (including Jotform Report Builder) to build surveys, volunteer and scholarship forms, and course registrations so the church can capture consistent data without complex tools.

Jotform Report Builder automatically turns submitted form data into polished, filterable reports and a spreadsheet‑style grid dashboard that directors can share via links or embed on a site. By using Jotform’s preformatted reports, filters by age group, and auto‑updating shared reports, Lake Forest Church went from spending hours updating reports to getting instant, actionable insights that help improve children’s ministry training, resources, and overall operations.
