What to do in this phase

5 key steps

These are the same items you can check off in your progress tracker.

Relaunch campaigns and partner locally. Build a seasonal calendar of a few major events per year and measure ROI.

Try this: Seasonal events can add 20–30 new visitors each.

Train new leaders through regular sessions and form a board/elder team so the load is shared.

Try this: Aim for 5–10 trained leaders distributing the work.

Teach biblical generosity, use online giving, and budget transparently. Build an operating reserve.

Try this: A generosity series can lift giving 20–30%; target 2–3 months of reserve.

Mark progress publicly with testimonies and a "Vision Sunday." Momentum compounds when wins are seen.

Try this: Tell the stories - celebrated wins fuel the next ones.

Set new goals, mentor other pastors, and prepare for your first hire or next location.

Try this: Evaluate quarterly; consider hiring after sustaining 75–100 for 6+ months.
