Not a Church Member¶
This Condition located on the Miscellaneous category tab in Search Builder finds people who answered the Church question on an online registration with Currently not attending a church.
Note
The Church question (Standard - Church on an Involvement’s Questions tab) is available only on online registrations such as Join Involvement. Registration Forms do not have this question, so their registrants are never returned with True. Staff can also set this answer by editing the Registrations section on a person’s record.
Note
False returns only people who have a registration record. Completing a Registration Form also creates this record, so False includes Registration Form registrants who were never asked the question.

Use Case
One use of this is when you have online registrations for which you will get a number of people who are not otherwise involved with your church. You can run a search for everyone enrolled in that specific Division or Involvement and then add this Condition with the Value set to True to find those who are currently not attending any church.
Add the condition Church Member Status and select Not Equal Member, so that you eliminate anyone who is a church member, but may have checked the box by mistake, or anyone who may have joined the church after registering for the event.

Explained the False value. Removed first-person wording. Renamed the article to match the Condition name in Search Builder. Clarified that the Church question is available only on online registrations, not Registration Forms, and how False handles Registration Form registrants.
