About
Intelligence for the mission
Adventist Pulse is a mission intelligence platform developed by the South New South Wales Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. We give leaders at every level — from local church pastor to conference president — the data they need to see what's actually happening and the clarity to act on it.
Why we built this
The Adventist Church generates more data than any leader has time to synthesise. The Yearbook, GC reports, and conference records represent 161 years of mission history — but that data has always been scattered across dozens of sources with no unified way to explore it. Pulse brings it together.
Adventist Pulse fixes that. We take publicly available denominational data — membership trends, baptism rates, growth patterns, financial flows — and make it accessible, visual, and actionable. 208+ Living Research Projects layer peer-reviewed evidence onto the numbers. Raw data becomes mission intelligence.
Growing comes from knowing.
How it works
Data
We collect publicly available denominational statistics — membership rolls, baptism records, financial reports, and church directories from the GC and regional offices.
Analysis
Raw numbers are cleaned, normalised, and cross-referenced. Growth rates, retention ratios, and per-church metrics emerge from the noise.
Intelligence
208+ Living Research Projects layer peer-reviewed evidence onto the data — turning trends into actionable insights for leaders.
Action
Pastors and administrators receive clear signals: which churches need support, where growth is real, and what strategies actually work.

20+ years of membership, baptism, tithe, and growth data across every conference, union, and division.

Built in South NSW
Adventist Pulse was born in the South New South Wales Conference — one of nine conferences in the Australian Union. What started as a question (“why can't pastors see their own data?”) became a platform serving the global church.
Developed by Kyle and the SNSW team, Pulse is proof that innovation in the Adventist Church doesn't have to come from Silver Spring. The best tools come from the field — built by the people who need them most.

Our principles
Data over narrative — we follow the evidence, even when it's uncomfortable.
Transparency over spin — every metric is explained, every source cited.
Mission first — the goal is a healthier, more mission-effective church.
No personal family data — only paid workers and assigned roles.
Not an official General Conference product — independently developed.
