— The problem
Pastor, your groups aren’t growing.
What If Your Groups Doubled?
A way to run groups so leaders make leaders and groups make groups — on a calendar, with standards, until groups become where people enter your church.
— Who wrote this
We’re pastors. We’ve had your Monday.
Pastor Center is built and written by pastors — a lead pastor who planted churches, and a church planter who grew one to 4,000 in four years. The same team teaches 7 free courses and 91 lessons. This playbook is the short version.
- 7free courses
- 91lessons, all free
- ARCChurches partner
“You can tell PastorCenter was built by people who understand what pastors actually do every week. It solves real ministry problems instead of just giving churches another piece of software to manage.”

If nothing changes

- —The same ten leaders carry it until they’re tired.
- —Five groups this year. Five groups in five years.
If you read this
- ✓Groups are the engine, and leaders are making leaders.
- ✓Future leaders get named mid-semester, every semester.
- ✓Five groups become ninety-four — churn included.
If you remember one lineGroups don’t grow your church; leaders who make leaders do, so build the engine for that.
