Look around. Then make it your own.

This is what Pastor HQ looks like after a church has been using it for a year — the Church Yearly Report 2026 tree, a working Year Overview, live goal check-ins, and a discussion thread or two. The numbers are made up. The shape is real.

On a live church, the yearly-report rows auto-pull from Planning Center. Manual rows (sacraments, mission %, membership roll year-end count) are entered by the senior pastor once.

Goals

Live goals tree — including the strategic moat

The Church Yearly Report 2026 template stamps a six-child tree in one click. A typical yearly report asks for eight numbers; six of them are PCO-resolved automatically, and the senior pastor enters the rest once at year-end.

Discussion

Goals are conversations, not spreadsheet rows.

Every goal in Pastor HQ carries an append-only check-in stream. The senior pastor writes a sentence about how it's going; the team reads + responds. The most recent check-in's confidence becomes the goal's traffic light.
