If You Want Your Church to Grow, You Need a Clear Pathway for Connection.

From Friendly to

Intentional

Most churches are welcoming. Smiles, handshakes, and hellos matter — but without direction, guests often leave unsure of what to do next. Growth happens when hospitality is paired with intentional next steps that are easy to see and simple to take

From Guests to

Belonging

Most pastors want first-time guests to return. But people don’t come back because of a service alone — they return when they begin to belong. Clear pathways help guests move from observing to participating, from sitting in a row to finding a circle.

From Help Needed to

People Empowered

Most leaders want volunteers, but people don’t want to feel used — they want to feel called. When your church has a clear connection process, serving becomes an on-ramp to purpose, not a last-minute ask from the stage.

But without a clear plan and a Connections Team dedicated to guests, Sundays can feel scattered, volunteers

burn out, guests slip through the cracks, and pastors are left feeling overwhelmed..

It doesn't have to be that way.

A thriving Connections Team can transform your church's culture— not through

hype, but through intentional, simple systems that work.

This mini-course shows you exactly how to build that team.
