Unshaken Message, Reimagined Future — Where the eternal truth of the Gospel meets a bold, renewed vision, sparking passion for Christ in the leaders of today and the generations to come.

We create church brands that accelerate growth, connect with people, and move the vision forward.

This 4-phase approach takes your church from the initial phase of analysis and vision casting to a final phase where it actively engages your local community with cutting-edge tools.

Analysis, Culture Temperature, and Vision Development​

01

The first phase involves analyzing the church’s current state, understanding its culture, and assessing the internal and external landscape. This includes taking the “temperature” of the congregation, staff, and leadership to determine morale, strengths, and areas for improvement. After gathering insights, the vision is developed collaboratively and disseminated among leadership and staff.

Engagement: Building buy-in by listening to the community & fostering a culture of open communication

Focus: Defining a clear & compelling vision based on thorough analysis

Methods:

  • SOAR Analysis: Utilize SOAR to identify strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and measurable results.
  • SWOT Analysis: Complement SOAR by identifying weaknesses and threats.
  • Culture Surveys: Conduct internal surveys for staff, volunteers, and the congregation to assess morale and engagement.
  • Leadership and Staff Interviews: Hold one-on-one or small group interviews with key leaders to gather qualitative insights.

  • StoryBrand Framework: Use StoryBrand to clarify church messaging in the context of the new vision.

Vision Dissemination, Defining Events, and Strategic Planning​

In this phase, the newly defined vision is communicated throughout the church. Leadership and staff are empowered to live out this vision in their roles, and specific events are defined that align with the church’s strategic goals. This phase also includes the creation of a Master Strategic Calendar, which will outline all key events, programs, and ministry efforts for the next 12–24 months.
