When someone calls within the first 24 hours, 85 out of 100 visitors come back. Wait more than three days and it drops to 15.
Figure from Bill Easum, cited by the Lewis Center for Church Leadership.
We handle the technical side. You and your leaders focus on people.
Your church shows up when someone in your city searches Google for a church, for help, or for a place to pray.
We do it for youEvery visitor gets a welcome message within minutes and a call within 24 hours.
The app does itEach person finds a small group near home and a leader who knows them by name.
Your leaders do it, with FRUTOThis year your church welcomed new people. Still coming today: .
Replace these numbers with your church's. The ones you see are an example.
people came once and never came back. Each one had a name.
Everyone sees only what's theirs to do. No one has to learn a complicated system.
You know who to call before they leave, not after they're gone.
They report with one message. FRUTO takes care of the rest.
Every staff member knows what to do today, based on their role.
We built it for a real church, with hundreds of home groups and four levels of leadership. Now any church can use it with its own structure.
It works with a cell-church vision, the G12 model, or your own structure. Each level carries the name your church already uses.
See which step each person is on, and who hasn't moved in weeks.
Example. You define the steps and their names.
We set it up with you and walk with you every week.
Pastor, leader:
For years I saw what you see. We would hold a big event, new people would come, some would give their lives to Christ, and a month later we didn't know where they were. It wasn't a lack of love. It was a lack of order: no one knew whose job it was to call.
I serve as a pastor in Miami and have worked in digital marketing for eighteen years. Inside our church we built a system so that every visitor would have a name, a leader and a group, and so the pastor would know every Monday who was drifting away. Today that church uses it every week.
FRUTO comes from John 15:16: fruit that remains. We aren't after fuller churches for one Sunday. We want the people God sends you to stay.
We set it up, we run it, and we teach you to use it.

So no visitor is lost and your leaders report every week.
To reach new people and help them stay.
To build small groups from scratch.

It's a Google program that gives nonprofits up to $10,000 a month in search ads. In the United States your church needs to be a registered 501(c)(3); in Canada, a registered charity. It also needs a secure website. We check whether you qualify and handle the application; Google makes the final decision.
Yes. That's what the Multiply plan is for: we walk with you for a year as you raise your first leaders and open your first groups, with the app included.
No. FRUTO connects with what you already use for giving and services, and focuses on something else: helping people stay.
It's not required. They can use the app or simply report by WhatsApp. Reporting takes less than a minute.
Yes. The app, the messages and the coaching are available in English and Spanish.
You do. You can export it whenever you want, and we use it only to provide the service.
