The Church in the U.S. has been declining since the 1960’s.
Your church can be the exception.
Since 2009, the percentage of practicing Christians in the U.S. has dropped from 50% to 25%. You’ve probably experienced this firsthand.
- As you know, people are less attracted to church. The “come-to-us” model isn’t as effective in our changing culture.
- Church is no longer an essential institution. The pandemic changed people’s priorities and habits.
People are, however, more attracted to community and cause. “Live local” relationships and “make-a-difference” efforts are especially valued among younger generations.
Your church needs a plan to re-energize more of your people so that your neighbors meet Jesus where they live. When your church goes, Jesus’ Kingdom grows. Let us show you how.

We know that as a pastor, it sometimes feels like you have to be everything to everyone. Counselor, preacher, meeting leader, conflict manager, vision setter, oh, and chief growth officer. That’s a whole lot of hats.
The FiveTwo Strategic Growth process lightens your load by involving your entire congregation from the very beginning. Our process creates lasting unity and momentum at all levels, minimizing conflict from day one. We want to be your trusted guide when it comes to growing your church. That’s why we walk with you every step of the way through our proven three-phase strategic growth process.
Many pastors feel like they don’t have the resources they need to grow their church. But they know if their church doesn’t grow, their future is at risk.
We believe God has placed the resources you need to grow in your congregation and community. You just need a guide and a customized plan that works.
Our coaches have grown healthy churches for over thirty years. We understand how to grow churches in creative new ways without burning out staff and lay leaders. We know how to identify, train, and activate lay leadership to help you carry the load.
When you start the FiveTwo Strategic Growth Process, you will quickly minimize conflict while creating buy-in, clarity, and momentum right out of the gate.
At the end of the process, you will feel confident Jesus has given you what you need to grow your church. Your calling will be clarified. Your leaders, equipped. And your people activated to use entrepreneurship to bless your community. All leading to lasting growth.

That’s the million-dollar question. Ha. Ha. Just kidding. Seriously, because we customize our approach to the unique needs of your church, our price structures vary. Contact us so we can better understand your needs.
So, maybe you need a larger plate? Or one of those divided cafeteria ones from elementary school? Or, someone who can help you clear your plate every so often? I think that last option is best. As the senior leader, you get a weekly 30-minute coaching session to help you navigate through the change. That session is designed to lighten your load, strategize, and basically assure you you have a friend who has your back. We also help you recruit your leaders and give you plug ‘n play templates and materials. Once the process gets underway, you and your steering team will spend an hour every other week. You’ll have about five days of events over the course of eight months where your presence is necessary. Your coach will guide you every step of the way.
Hey, don’t diss entrepreneurs. We come from a long line of starters. Plus, who doesn’t like Shark Tank and Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks. Ok. I’ll stop. Here’s a secret: entrepreneurs know how to create growth. And when led well, they create growth that reaches new people. We know how to find those “Mark Cuban” types. We’ll help you find them. We promise: your staff won’t have to lead new things. You won’t have to, either.
Well, mainly because we’re different. Not weirdly different. Just different in that we don’t come in with a pre-packaged answer and tell you what you should do. We form fit the process to your congregation and context. You get one coach the entire engagement. And, our customer success director works directly with a detail-oriented person on your staff to make sure you stay on track and that nothing falls through the cracks. At the end of the day, this isn’t a three-ring binder with a fancy cover that sits on the shelf collecting dust. Using our proven, signature process, we build lasting unity and momentum from day one.

The one-day, in-person Clarify Our Calling All-Leaders Workshop jumpstarts your journey towards great clarity and momentum for growth. We gather every single leader (and anyone who considers themselves a leader) in one room from 9am – 3pm on the Saturday of your choosing. First leaders will go through a proven process to discover the unique calling Jesus has placed on their life. This makes them feel poured into and valued. Then, you will hear from God through your leaders about the future direction of your church. You don’t have to do everything they suggest but doing this
The best part?
Hmmm. Let me see. Disciple-making involves going. Adults learn when they feel a need to. By taking your congregation on a mission-focused journey in reaching their community, involving them in exercises that clarify their calling, and inviting them into new expressions of ministry, I’m thinking you’ll be doing a whole lot of discipling in the months ahead. Think Jesus sending out the 12 and the 72. A giant real-life object lesson.
If reaching new people in your community in new ways equals growth, then yes. If building relationships with new people so they discover the power of Christian community, then yes. If taking Jesus to people rather than waiting for them to come to you to meet Him, then yes.
Every church we’ve worked with has experienced an increase in engagement from their people. In short, their people are energized for a new season of ministry. They can’t help but talk about what God is doing in their congregation.
That’s our history, for sure. We’ve helped launch and relaunch over 100 churches, ministries, non-profits, even for-profits since 2015. But our secret sauce is found in our name. Well, actually, in where our name comes from. Mark 6, the feeding of the 5000. How Jesus fed the crowd with food from the crowd. The Church (those initial 12 guys) didn’t have the resources to feed the 8000+. Jesus multiplied the little that was there. So, too, today with your congregation. By helping congregations discover the resources Jesus has placed in them and in their communities, and by leaning into a new direction built on their past but embracing the future, churches start a new season.
A wise church man once told me, “Money flows to vision. Especially a God-vision.” While we can’t guarantee an immediate increase in donations, we have seen that when both the leadership and the people are clear in their calling and act on that calling, people treasure what God is doing through their Church. And where your treasure is…
