the Church
Leading a healthy and growing church is hard and seminary probably didn’t prepare you for the real-world issues you’re facing
- Fewer people than ever are attending church
- Even those who do attend don’t get involved
- People really don’t understand the demands and weight of your job
- People struggle to understand the mission, vision, and what’s at stake
- There’s more to leading a church than preaching and casting vision
- Nobody has given you a simple plan
Church Fuel combines content, community and coaching like nothing else and is still the most cost-effective solution for your church.
Church Fuel resources will help you lead through some of your most challenging issues.

Strategy
Building Your Ministry Plan
Without a clear strategy, everything seems like an opportunity or an obligation and it’s easy to lose sight of what matters. To truly reach your community, you need a simple but effective plan. We’ll walk you through each step and help you clarify what matters. The result will be a one-page plan everyone can support.
Leadership
The Leadership Course
The biggest growth barrier facing most churches today isn’t a lack of space or a lack of funding. It’s leadership. Learn how to lead yourself, lead your team, and develop leaders who will help every ministry in your church.
Volunteers
The Volunteer Course
Churches of every shape and size need people to help accomplish their ministry. Our leadership system will help you recruit, train, and develop leaders, and make sure they are the happiest and healthiest people in your church.
Generosity
The Giving Course
People don’t give to churches like they used to, but there are specific actions you can take to engage people. Since ministry takes money, learn how to raise the bar of generosity in your church.
Growth
Breaking the 200 Barrier
Churches with fewer than 200 attenders aren’t small churches, they are normal-sized churches! But you’ve got unique challenges and need focused solutions. This course will lay out seven action steps to help you break this important barrier.
There are more courses included like The Systems Course, The Follow-Up Course, The Inviting Course, and more. We add new courses every few months and members get everything.
You'll get all of our resources.
Our digital Resource Library will give you the tools and templates you need to take action fast. There are more than 150 documents in the Resource Library with new ones added each month.
Plus, if there's something you need and you can't find it, we'll make it.

The Real Church Growth Barriers
Service times, worship style, digital presence… these are important, but they are not the underlying issues facing your church. Your church is facing real growth barriers, but we will help you break through.
People Barriers
It never feels urgent to develop your people, but if you’re not growing, and helping your staff, leaders, and volunteers get better, this is where you should start.
Systems Barriers
You can’t solve systems and structure problems with better preaching or more vision. You need to create good systems that are followed by all people.
Culture Barriers
Culture isn’t as ethereal as others make it out to be. You create it with language, values, behaviors, people and budget.
Strategic Barriers
Planning is spiritual, and we’ll show you how to make a useful strategic plan that will help you get everyone and everything on the same page. “I have a dream” is how you inspire people, but “I have a plan” is how you lead people.
Spiritual Barriers
The church is not just a business or organization, which means a lack of prayer, a lack of faith, and a poor understanding of the Gospel might be holding you back.
With so many online courses, blogs and podcasts, and conferences promising the silver bullet, it’s tough to hear through the noise. Too many people over-promise and under-deliver. And most of the time, it’s all inspiration with very little real help.
We’re not about that. We're all about the practical.

What People Are Saying
I have been so blessed by this community. You will never know how much I needed these resources, words of encouragement, prayers, and just a place to come and lay out what's on my mind from time to time. I love being able to share with all of you. Thank you for serving together, and the fact that there is a spirit of working together and not of competition. Everything around me is so competitive that it is hard to fellowship with other pastors. Y'all are a Godsend. I thank the Lord he directed me here. Thank you from the depths of my heart.
Rob Watts, Pastor
Columbus West Church
Columbus, OH
If you're on the fence and you're thinking I don't know if this is for me, come join the community. The relationships you'll build with people that are a little bit further ahead from you are so incredible, and the relationships with people that may be a little bit further behind you, because we all know that we learn more from teaching others, often times than we do when we're being taught something. So it's an opportunity for you to both receive and give in this community and it's exciting. Ministry's hard. And doing it alone is even harder. So the Church Fuel community is a big piece of me not feeling all alone in doing ministry. Even though I have a team that I work with here locally, it's great to have other folks and other voices outside of our team locally and that's what Church Fuel is for me.
Jeremy Self, Pastor
The Church at Lake Travis
Austin, TX
Since I've been implementing some of the things that I've learned from Church Fuel, we have grown. When I took over, we were at 54 members. We have grown now to where our attendance every Sunday is around 130. Because of our growth, we've had to go to two services, and I attribute a lot of that to Church Fuel… I would say to someone who's on the fence about joining Church Fuel… jump in. Take advantage of everything, the relationships. Take advantage of the community. Take advantage of the resources.
