Strategic Growth Process

Ministry is heavy—especially when you’re carrying it alone. FiveTwo walks with you to build something you don’t have to hold up by yourself.

More than a binder and a blessing

1

Long-haul partnership.
We do the heavy lifting, staying with you until ministry becomes something your whole church owns.

2

Lay-led, people-powered approach. We help activate the sacred potential already sitting in your pews.

3

Spirit-led clarity + practical tools.
Every step includes hands-on coaching, practical tools, and clear deliverables—so your team always knows what’s next.

4

Outcomes and accountability. Built-in accountability and coaching ensure ideas lead to implementation.

A two-year journey that brings your people together, builds real ministry, and keeps you moving forward.

“FiveTwo catalyzed our church in many ways.”

“We brought in half a million dollars in donations just in December this year. Our church went from being at a 6.5% deficit in October to now, having blown that deficit out of the water in a single month. A lot of that I credit to the fact that we got to share stories of transformation from Galewood and implement some of the things that we learned from Galewood at our other two locations.

We saw 47 baptisms, which is almost one baptism a week. We’ve never seen numbers like that in like the past 4 or 5 years.

We’ve worked with other consulting groups, but there’s a kind of energy and focus that’s coming from this process to Trinity.

Bringing the FiveTwo team around a church, and the process they work them through, with the tools they provide, it’s just above and beyond what other consulting groups will do with you.

FiveTwo provides that level of care, support, and expertise that is just fantastic. FiveTwo really brings their ‘A’ game to the table.”

Before working with FiveTwo, we had a general understanding that God wanted us to share the gospel with people. The Strategic Growth Process provided a common language by distilling our values, vision, and mission and looking at our goals while considering our strengths and weaknesses. We feel much more unified in knowing where we’re headed.
Andrea Gerhard

FiveTwo helped us realize there are biblical ways to grow our church and that God has given us all the resources we need to do it. They understood our individual ministry context and helped us break out of structures that were holding us back and keeping us from growing.
Stennis Shotts
Hill Country Fellowship
We are motivated to grow the kingdom of God and it requires a clear vision, mission and set of values. I know I speak for our whole team when I say working with FiveTwo has been a real pleasure. We have made great progress over the past several months and are looking forward to the next steps.

FiveTwo helped me confirm my calling and brought more clarity to the next steps. We feel prepared to scale our ministry and reach more people through the work we’ve done with FiveTwo.
Dan Schmidtke

It feels like I am getting reassurance from GOD that I am doing the right things. FiveTwo has given me knowledge to improve the organization of our ministry’s budget and define mission objectives I would highly recommend FiveTwo for anyone that is considering starting a ministry.
