What happens after someone comes to the altar?
In a lot of churches, the answer lives in a notebook or in the pastor’s memory. Here is the same week with Passport keeping the record.
Sunday
- At the altar
Someone comes forward
A first-time guest asks to be baptized. An altar worker prays with them, and the service goes on.
The decision is recorded against that service: who came, what for, and who ministered. (Plus)
- That afternoon
A welcome text
Their connection card, or the QR welcome card they scanned in the pew, is the only record of the visit.
The card lands in the Guests hub and a welcome text goes out from the church.
- At the altar
Monday and Tuesday
- Within 48 hours
A name on the call
Everyone means to call. Most weeks, everyone assumes someone else did.
One named person gets a care assignment, and it stays open until it is done.
- Within 48 hours
Wednesday
- Midweek service
Back, or not
They come back for the midweek service, or they stay home.
Attendance shows who returned. For anyone who didn’t, the next text and task are already scheduled.
- Midweek service
The weeks after
- Before next Sunday
The baptism is booked
Last Sunday’s commitment needs a date, a time and someone to meet them at the church.
The decision moves from recorded to scheduled to completed. Anything still open stays on the outstanding list. (Plus)
- After the baptism
A certificate to keep
The family asks for something they can frame.
Email a PDF baptism certificate from their profile. The baptism date is saved there for good. (Plus)
- Before next Sunday
Names and times are examples. Your church sets when texts go out and who gets each assignment.
What is Apostolic church management software?
Apostolic church management software is a church database that also keeps the moments Apostolic churches watch most closely: altar decisions, water baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost. Passport records each decision during the service, gives it a named person to follow it through, stores baptism and Holy Ghost dates on every profile, and follows up every first-time guest.
The window is short. 71% of churchgoers who switched churches decided to attend regularly within three visits; only 20% decided after a single visit.
The person who came forward in March
Everyone saw them at the altar, and nobody booked the baptism. When a database has nowhere to record a decision, the person who committed in March looks exactly like the person who was baptized in April. The only way to find the first group is for someone to remember them.
Revival week fills the card box in one night
A revival or a special service can bring more new names than your team can call by Tuesday. Passport sends each guest a welcome text and gives each one a care assignment with a named owner, so the follow-up doesn’t depend on whoever ended up holding the stack of cards.
Milestones hidden in custom fields
Baptism and the Holy Ghost matter enough to report on. In a general church database they become custom fields that someone has to set up, fill in and remember to search. In Passport both are dated fields on every profile, and the people list filters by each.
What does Passport look like in an Apostolic church?
These are real screens from the live demo, a sample Apostolic church you can open in one click and look around before you talk to anyone.
The altar call log, on the dashboard
Decisions from the last 30 or 90 days, counted by type: water baptism, Holy Ghost, rededication and other. This week’s new visitors and care assignments sit just above.
A pathway they can see
In the member app, classes run in order with prerequisites, so a new convert always knows the next class.
Their own app from the first visit
Guests see upcoming services and revivals, the groups and classes open to them, and their next step.
Baptism and the Holy Ghost on every profile
Dated milestone fields, care tags, pastoral visits and the discipleship track in one place. Promote someone to member when your church’s criteria are met.
Which plan does an Apostolic church need?
The altar, baptism and Holy Ghost tools are part of Plus, the plan for running the whole church in Passport. If you keep Breeze or Planning Center for your records, Companion covers guest follow-up.
Staff seats are unlimited from Companion up, so every altar worker, usher and Sunday school teacher can have their own login. A Plus trial includes every tool on this page for 30 days.

Questions Apostolic pastors ask
About altar decisions, milestones, Breeze and price. The live demo answers the rest in a few minutes.
Look for three things: altar decisions recorded and tracked until they are followed through, baptism and Holy Ghost dates stored as real fields, and a named person following up every first-time guest. Passport does all three on Plus ($69/mo). If you keep Breeze or Planning Center, Companion ($49/mo) adds guest follow-up alongside it.
Yes, on Plus. Record a decision during the service: who came forward, what for (water baptism, the Holy Ghost, rededication or something else) and who ministered to them. Each decision moves from recorded to scheduled to completed, and any decision still open stays on the outstanding list until someone follows it through.
Yes. Every profile has a baptism date and a Holy Ghost date, and the people list filters by both. Your membership criteria can require either one before someone is promoted to member, and you can email a PDF baptism certificate straight from the person’s profile. These tools are part of Plus.
Yes. The decision types, milestone fields and baptism certificate were built with Apostolic Pentecostal churches in mind, UPC congregations included. You set your own membership criteria and care tags, so Passport follows the way your church already disciples people.
Yes. Import your people, tags, events and attendance history from Breeze. While the connection is set to keep Breeze updated, each new guest Passport captures is added to Breeze, matched to anyone already there so nobody is entered twice. If you take attendance in Breeze, Passport reads it from the Breeze events you match to your services, so it knows when a guest comes back. Companion is the plan for guest follow-up alongside Breeze. Choose Plus if you also want the altar and baptism tools.
Most churches are live in under 30 minutes. Import your people from Breeze or Planning Center, print your QR welcome card, and the next guest who scans it starts their follow-up.
Companion is $49/mo for guest follow-up. Plus, with altar decisions, baptism certificates and milestone tracking, is $69/mo. Pro is $99/mo and adds up to 5 campuses. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial and no charge today, and monthly plans can be cancelled anytime.
