What’s Up:
Your church doesn’t have a people problem, it has a process problem. Build and work better processes and the people will be there.
So What:
Growth, salvations, baptisms, and momentum don’t happen by accident. Without processes, your ministry is winging it. And winging it doesn’t scale.
The Point Is:
Processes Drive Growth
One of our Growing Church Network pastors just shared that their recent wave of growth was because they followed processes, not because they got lucky.
Most Churches Wing It
We’ve got airtight systems for offerings and spreadsheets, but not for attracting visitors or making disciples. That’s why most churches aren’t growing.
Every Strategy Needs a System
You need clear, step-by-step processes for outreach, visitor follow-up, assimilation, disciple-making, and missionary development. Without that, you’re just guessing.
Processes Create Momentum
When systems are in place, growth becomes repeatable. Visitors stick. Members mature. Disciples multiply. Momentum builds. And the mission moves forward.
And … ?
If we managed outreach like we manage our finances, churches would be overflowing. Think about it. Most churches have bulletproof processes for handling money. The plate gets passed. The funds get counted. The deposit gets made. And the numbers show up in a spreadsheet. It’s a system. A repeatable one.
Now imagine if your church had that same level of clarity, detail, and routine for reaching the lost, assimilating guests, and making disciples. Imagine if your team knew exactly how to connect first-time visitors to long-term relationships, and how to walk returning guests down the road to baptism. That’s not fantasy. That’s what processes do.
In the Growing Church Network, we’ve developed processes for every part of the journey. From marketing to networking, from visitor contact to follow-up, from connection to transformation … it’s all mapped out. That’s why our churches aren’t just surviving. They’re seeing salvations. They’re baptizing new believers. They’re growing.
