How To Get The Church Growth Snowball Rolling

My favorite moments are when pastors in UpLevel Leader begin to experience the Church Growth Snowball!

Yesterday, I heard about a church in our program that went from 20 people to 140 in only 1 year using our system…more on that tomorrow…

The CGS (yeah, we’re going full acronym now) is when you experience self-powered momentum in your attendance, finances, leadership, and volunteers.

Complete and total ongoing momentum.

More than enough guests.

More than enough volunteers.

More than enough money.

And more than enough people taking their next step with Jesus (discipleship).

Have you ever felt that in your church?

What if I told you that was how it’s meant to be?

Yes, your church (regardless of how things are currently going) is meant to experience total positive momentum.

The CGS is maybe one year away at most for any pastor that is willing to think fresh, work hard, and lead with faith.

That’s what I help pastors do in UpLevel leader using a simple 3 step plan for:

  • Getting people

  • Keeping people

  • Growing people

It’s right out of the book of Acts and its what we’ve done to go from 50 people at our first Easter service to 1500 last Easter in 7 years.

The snowball is rolling…

And it’s picking up speed and mass along the way.

Just this week our kid’s pastor sent the staff an email, “We just broke our non-holiday record for kid’s ministry attendance!”

We celebrated and then I kind of freaked out…because we’re already running out of space in our new building and it’s July…no summer slump…

We better get ready for September!

Pastor, I want YOU to experience that momentum in your church.

So here’s the next step…

Right now I have time to work with 3-5 more churches in the UpLevel Leader program.

You’ll receive:

  • Access to ALL my courses (for you and your staff/team)…

  • Free membership to the premium Leader Letter posts…

  • Access to the private pastors group for community, collaboration, and support…

  • Live weekly coaching via ZOOM from me and my team where we specifically help you build the CGS (church growth snowball).

Oh, and guess what?

It pays for itself.

Yep, if I can help you add ONE activated, giving member to your church it covers the entire investment in the program.

Look at this recent giving data from ChurchSalary…

“Over the last year ChurchSalary has gathered precise data from almost 3,000 churches. Across all these churches, average PPG (per person giving) in 2022 is now $2,848, median is $2,600, and 50 percent of churches fall between $1,852 and $3,571 per person.” - ChurchSalary

Average PPG (per person giving) is $2,848.

One new giving member is more than enough to cover the entire cost.

(FYI…We’ve only got room for 3-5 more pastors to join this month.)

Quick note. Since 2020 I’ve been offering a discounted rate on the program but after tomorrow at midnight the price is going back up.

This is the LAST chance to join UpLevel Leader at the current discounted price.

Talk soon,

Pastor Jake
