Overview

Need Connect is a MinistryPlatform application that helps identify users with needs (Requesters) as well as users who can help provide assistance (Providers) and pairs them to effectively serve the local community. Need Connect lists various Need Types that are part of a Need Campaign. Requesters of needs receive email confirmation at different steps throughout the process keeping them informed of the status of their need, while Providers of needs receive access to a Connect Board so the user can find and assign themselves a need to fill. Likewise, Providers receive email confirmations with various options throughout the process as well as reminders for incomplete assignments. The church ultimately manages the needs and defines which areas of service they want to extend to their local community.

Locate your church's specific URL and set up various items in the Platform. This Quick Start guide outlines the initial items that the church needs to set up and help create a big picture concept of the workflow process.
