Cell group management with a five-step report
The leader records attendance and submits the meeting report from their phone. The supervisor sees what is overdue and what needs attention, without waiting for Sunday’s sheet.
The leader fills it in within minutes, the supervisor reads it the same day
On meeting day, the leader opens the cell on their phone, marks who came and works through the five-step report. Brado highlights overdue reports and cells showing risk signals, so the supervisor knows who to phone.
- Attendance recorded on the day of the meeting, from the app.
- List of overdue reports and risk signals by cell, visible to the supervisor.
Multiply with a request, approval and preparation
When a cell grows, the decision rests on the cell’s data, not on a feeling from Sunday.
Request
The leader requests the cell’s multiplication.
LeaderApproval
Leadership approves the request.
LeadershipPreparation
Preparing the new group is followed on the dashboard, with the “Leader training” step in the journey and in courses.
DashboardNetwork, sector and cell, each level with its own role
In churches with many cells, each level has its place and the permissions of its role. Group types are configurable, beyond cells.
- 1 / 3 Network The network coordinator has their own role in the structure.
- 2 / 3 Sector The sector supervisor sees overdue reports and risk signals.
- 3 / 3 Cell The leader records attendance and submits the report. The public group directory accepts requests to join.
More on group life
The rest of group life
Features that support cells and groups.
-
Group directory
The church’s public page lists the groups, and anyone who wants to join makes a request, instead of scattered messages. Leadership decides each request and, if the group is full, Brado warns you before you approve.
-
Capacity, type and joining
Each group has a type, a capacity and a joining mode (closed, by request or open), and can close entry once it is full.
-
Consolidating newcomers
Follow people who accepted Jesus from first contact to serving, in six stages, with an owner and an alert when someone stalls for more than 14 days.
-
Group wall
A moderated wall, with photos, for the group to share what happened.
-
Large gatherings
Organise gatherings that bring several groups together and record who attended.
-
Training
Courses with classes and attendance, and a leader training stage in the discipleship journey.
-
Overdue reports
See at a glance which cells haven’t yet submitted their report and which show risk signals.
-
All on the phone
The leader works in the app and the church office on the dashboard, with the same data.
Who uses cells and groups
Two roles work here. Each page shows the week of the person using it.
Frequently asked questions
Who sees a cell’s report?
The cell leader, the sector supervisor and leadership, depending on each person’s role. Each role has its own permissions, set by area and by action. The most sensitive pastoral data has restricted access.
How is a cell multiplied in Brado?
The leader makes the request, leadership approves, and the new group’s preparation is followed on the dashboard. The request is recorded, so the decision rests on the cell’s data and on the judgement of people who know it.
Can members ask to join a group?
Yes. The public directory lists the church’s groups and anyone who wants to take part makes a request to join. The team receives the request on the dashboard and decides. The request stays on record until it is dealt with.
What does the group share between meetings?
Each group has a moderated wall, with photos, to share what happened. If your church already uses a message group, it can keep using it; Brado keeps the attendance, the report and the follow-up.
Can I organise cells by network, sector and cell?
Yes. There is a network coordinator, a sector supervisor and a cell leader, each with their own permissions. These levels don’t need the Network plan: a single church can use them. For several churches there is the Network plan, on request.
Does the leader need a computer?
No. The leader records attendance and submits the report on their phone, in the church app: just open it on meeting day. The church office and leadership work on the dashboard, on a computer or a phone.
