As an example of how effective GROW has been for us, we are a congregation of 127 members. We did a Google ad last year for our Trunk or Treat. In 2022 before GROW we had 85 in attendance—mainly church and preschool families. In 2023 with GROW we doubled that with 160 people. In 2024 we had 450! Fortunately, we had back up supplies from fall festival to use, but it was phenomenal. We were able to hand out Bibles, devotions, Christian coloring books, bookmarks, and many more such things to those who came. We felt it was a huge success. Way beyond our expectations. All thanks to GROW!!!
There’s no silver bullet to healthy church growth. What your church needs is consistent progress in four key areas. We call these the four systems, and we’ve designed Church Fuel to help normal-sized churches take the right next step in each of these areas. With a little work and perseverance, these systems will continue to help your church grow even into the future.
Visitors
To grow, your church needs visitors. We can help you find new ways to invite new people. We call it ministry-first marketing. The best part, once you’ve created a system for inviting, your church can experience new visitors week after week. A visitor system has never been easier.
Leadership
Leadership isn’t about positions or titles; it’s about understanding who you are as a church and passing that vision and purpose on to every member, staff, and volunteer. Our leadership system will help you not only grow as a leader but also build better leaders in your church.
Connections
From small groups to ministry programs, a church service people by helping them connect to God and to others. But getting people connected can be a challenge. You need a system to help people make new connections and maintain relationships they’ve previously formed.
Volunteers
Every church needs volunteers. And your church will only be as healthy as your volunteers are healthy. A growing church must learn to not only recruit new volunteers but also how to care for the volunteers they have. We’ve got tools and resources to help you cultivate great volunteers in your church.
