How to Count Church Attendance Using Seating Layouts
A short guide for volunteer counters using CountTrue. Learn how to join a count, follow the seating layout, work section by section, and submit your count clearly for review.
Watch the guide
This walkthrough is for volunteers who are counting attendance from a seating layout. It shows the basic flow from joining the count through to submitting your final number, with a focus on staying clear about which sections have already been covered.
Why seating layouts help
Seating layouts give counters a clear visual guide instead of relying on paper notes or memory. Volunteers can move through the room section by section, which helps reduce missed areas, overlap, and confusion when several people are counting at once.
In CountTrue, volunteers simply join the count, follow the layout, tap as they count, and submit when finished. Count leaders can then review the submitted counts in one place.
