Introduction: As church leaders, we all dream of growing our congregations and reaching more people for Christ. But navigating growth in today’s world requires more than just prayer and hope—it takes strategy, intentionality, and sometimes, the right partner to guide you. Whether it’s us at Boken or someone else, hiring a team to help with your church’s strategy and growth work could be the key to making 2025 your most impactful year yet.
Our Mission and Promise:
At Boken, we help pastors grow their churches by 30% while saving over $200,000 annually. How? Through strategic planning, fractional leadership, creative execution, visitor-first websites, and targeted advertising. It’s not about doing more; it’s about doing the right things well.
The Church Growth Flywheel Church growth isn’t random; it’s intentional. We work with pastors to align their vision, people, processes, and communication into a seamless growth flywheel. This flywheel includes:
- Staff Alignment: Ensuring the right people are in the right roles.
- Creative Execution: High-quality content to engage your congregation and community.
- Promotions and Communication: Internally equipping your team and externally targeting your Ideal Visitor Persona (IVP).
This process creates sustainable, adaptive growth.
Why Strategy Comes First Growth starts with clarity. We use proven systems like EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) to help churches:
- Align their leadership around a clear vision.
- Measure progress with simple data-driven tools.
- Tackle challenges and remove barriers to growth.
A clear strategy sets the foundation for everything else.
The Fractional Leadership Model Most churches can’t afford a full-time executive team with expertise in strategy, branding, and marketing. That’s where fractional leadership comes in. With over 60 years of combined experience, Boken provides high-level leadership and execution at a fraction of the cost—saving churches $150,000 to $250,000 annually. This approach ensures you get expert guidance without the overhead of full-time staff.
Reaching Your Ideal Visitor Profile (IVP) Who are you trying to reach? Most churches share a common IVP: families with kids, recent movers, and people seeking community. We use advanced 1st-party and behavioral data to target these households with tailored campaigns that are trackable, effective, and cost-efficient. For example, Community Church grew 30-40% year over year by reaching their IVP with precision.
The Boken Difference Here’s what sets us apart:
Strategy: We help you clarify your vision and define your IVP.
Creative Excellence: From websites to branded content, we deliver professional, mission-driven work.
Data-Driven Campaigns: Tailored advertising that invites the right people and tracks results.
Fractional Leadership in Action A typical fractional contract includes:
- Strategy Work: $8,000 (including EOS and IVP development).
- Website Revamp: $7,500 for a refreshed, SEO-optimized site.
- Monthly Retainer: $3,500 for ongoing leadership, creative execution, and targeted campaigns.
Flexible payment options are available, starting at $4,375/month. This approach makes high-level expertise affordable and effective.
Make 2025 the Year of Growth Your church’s mission is too important to leave to chance. Whether it’s strategy, creative execution, or leadership support, investing in growth work will help you reach more people and make a bigger impact. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s talk.
