A proven toolbox that equips church teams to intentionally multiply Kingdom impact by aligning a clear vision, unified language, key priorities, actionable plans, all pointed toward the accomplishment of Jesus’ Great Commission.
Churches often miss the mark with silver-bullet strategies that promise to multiply Kingdom impact.
More than 2,000 years later, it’s time to get back to the basics of reaching His people, His way!
What makes
ChurchOS different?
Growth doesn't happen with silver bullets or a one-size-fits-all strategy. We believe the key is to strengthen the six domains of every church for multiplied impact.
Vision
Clear vision creates healthy tension that results in insight and courageous decisions. But vision is best realized when it’s held loosely, taken seriously, and refreshed often.
Activation Disciplines
What makes a plan great is if it activates the Great Commission. Build a sound plan by establishing clear rhythms and routines that lead to great execution.
Action
Consistent and strategic action is difficult in the Church where the short-term dominates planning. Our role is to set a clear plan of action, one that doesn’t start on Friday evening!
Operations
Churches need systems, processes, and infrastructure. There are no magical solutions that work for every ministry, but there are best practices to be learned and used.
Leaders
Everything rises and falls on leadership. As leaders, we need to be unified about our mission, vision and plan that’s built around what’s most important to reach people.
Great Commission Strategy
Prioritizing making more and better disciples just as Jesus commanded is at the heart of the Church. Everything else flows from this center point, not vice versa.

About
-
ChurchOS is a comprehensive leadership system that’s rooted in biblical principles and is applicable to any church. It translates well in any context or denomination as a system that you can use for years to come.
We use team-based strategic conversations to change behaviors and lead to confident decisions. These decisions will unleash the Gospel potential of any church and help it reach the lost and grow more and better disciples.
-
Over the past decade, we’ve successfully installed ChurchOS in all types and sizes of churches – church plants, established churches, growing churches, and plateaued churches.
The beauty of our system is that it’s not a one-size-fits-all model. It’s adaptable so that this model can be molded for each unique church context.
The churches we’ve worked with have all seen significant impact from this leadership system. ChurchOS is also in use with 20+ different denominations around the world.
-
Like most church leaders, you’ve probably faced some of these challenges – the siloing of your staff into departments that don’t collaborate, an eldership or board who isn’t tracking with what you’re trying to do, or not being able to figure out why you’re stuck and not growing in number.
Your church is likely running an OS by default. You may be running the consensus OS where everybody has to be in agreement before you make a decision. You may be running the latest conference OS – the latest great idea for the year.
None of these work well in the long term. That’s why it’s important to run an OS by design, not by default.
ChurchOS was designed as a solution that any church can use to get back to the basics of church leadership and stay encouraged and clear about how to lead His church.
We’ve written a book about it, created digital resources for you, and even built an incredible team that can come and work with your church. ChurchOS will help you to confidently lead and multiply your Kingdom impact again and again.
-
ChurchOS may sound intimidating at first and we totally get that. It takes a little bit to learn but, in the end, it’s quite simple and easy to use. Just think of it as a system that runs like the OS on your phone.
Hundreds of churches have already used and tested our system to make it practically applicable to their unique contexts. In fact, you can read some success stories here. You can rest assured that we’ll be walking alongside you every step of the way to help you get there, too.
-
Yes, it does! ChurchOS will work if you work ChurchOS. Just engaging us does not guarantee results. You must be willing to commit to the process.
ChurchOS is an investment of time, energy, attention, and certainly money. So if you want to make it work, it’s important that your key players are really involved.
Take a look at some success stories of churches who are making ChurchOS work for them.

To help you get there, our coaches will walk you through every aspect of your church – leadership, discipleship systems, meetings, weekend services, serving, operations, etc.
Our coaching sessions will challenge and equip you and your team to plan strategically, have focused conversations, and take actionable steps to reach more people for Jesus.
