What is GROW?

GROW is the initiative that we started in 2010 to help churches GROW. We have a goal to help 1,000 churches under 1,000 in weekly attendance break that barrier. If you’re a new church plant or a church that is decades old and you desire to GROW, we want to help you. The GROW Initiative is comprised of 3 main components:

1. Training
2. Resources
3. Coaching

The first two components are open to any leader. The Coaching is more specific in nature with some requirements. Details on each of these areas are on this site under each tab.

Our annual Training is very unique and unlike a typical conference. We call it Leadership Training because we are focused on making sure we meet your specific needs. Over three days you and all of your key leaders will work closely with my staff in main sessions and breakout lab sessions that will cover the “how to“ questions in every area of your church.

You may desire resources such as the documents, materials, message notes, videos and artwork which we use. Go to the Resources page for more details.

The most valuable component to the GROW Initiative is coaching. This is an interactive process involving a deeper commitment and relationship. We have several tools to offer you: tracking, assessments, site visits, workshops, conference calls, and personal coaching. These tools will provide you with everything you need to succeed and meet your goals as a leader and a church. We are committed to this vision and to you as a pastor. This will require a commitment on your behalf as well.

With you in the Cause that counts,

Chris Hodges
