Welcome to your Measure tab! This part of your account is focused on connecting you to powerful data analytics that show how effective you're being and find ways to become even more impactful, both in your church or ministry in general and in your Gloo account specifically.

The Measure tab has three main sections: Measure What Matters, Analytics, Networks, and Assessments. All 3 of these sections are included in a free account. Let's take a moment to briefly introduce all three, and show you how to get started.

The ability to know is oxygen to a ministry. Leaders often wonder, “How are my people doing? How effective is my ministry? How am I doing as a leader?” At Gloo, we’ve worked with Barna Group in serving thousands of leaders who leverage technology as a way to learn and to know. We’ve learned that one of the best ways to gain knowledge is to leverage common frameworks—a mutually accepted way of viewing and communicating about something.

Barna Group has established 2 common frameworks that can be used to measure what matters- the health of those within your church and, by extension, the health of your church itself. These frameworks- human flourishing and church thriving- are summarized in the Measure What Matters tab based on data gathered from thousands of churches around the country so that you can see where your church stands in relation to others.

The My Network tool is designed for network leaders to stay informed with in-depth research, equip ministry leaders to help their people live on mission and confidently have conversations about Jesus, and access data that helps you see the missional impact across your network, so you can engage your community with confidence.

The last piece of the Measure tab is our Assessments tool. Using this tool gives you access to a library of powerful premade Assessments you can send out to your people to learn almost anything you want about your congregants. The Barna ChurchPulse Assessment, for example, can be used to measure the state of Flourishing and Thriving in your church (see the Measure What Matters section above for more details on this).

From the Measure tab of your Gloo account, click on Assessments on the left hand side.
