BEST ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP
IN YOUR CITY.

A 2-day, in-person certification for Executive Pastors and senior church leaders.
2-DAY IN-PERSON CERTIFICATION · COMPLETE RESOURCE LIBRARY · MONTHLY COACHING CALL · APPLICATION REQUIRED
YOUR MISSION MATTERS
Every organization in your city is chasing something. Market share. Quarterly growth. Your church is chasing something eternal: changed lives and a community transformed by the gospel.
Vision fills the room on Sunday. Execution carries it through the week. Someone owns that turn inside your building right now. If your team looks to you when it’s time to make things work, that leader is you.
WHAT IF THE BEST-LED ORGANIZATION IN YOUR CITY WAS A CHURCH?
THE FRAMEWORK YOU'LL BRING TO YOUR CHURCH
CLARITY. ALIGNMENT. FULL POTENTIAL.
PHASE ONE
CLARITY
Every leader knows the destination, the plan, and the win for their seat. Your org chart makes sense. Your scoreboard tells the truth. Your team works ON the ministry with intention, every single week.
PHASE TWO
ALIGNMENT
Every ministry moves in the same direction at the same pace. Meetings solve real problems. Quarterly objectives connect daily work to long-term vision. Momentum compounds.
PHASE THREE
FULL POTENTIAL
Your church becomes everything it’s called to be. A healthy team. A focused mission. A discipleship engine running at full strength. The church you’re called to be, led with the excellence the mission deserves.

A COMMUNITY OF ACCELERATORS
YOU'LL LEAD WITH LIKE-MINDED LEADERS BESIDE YOU.

PROVEN WHERE IT MATTERS

COMMON QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHO IS THE CERTIFICATION FOR?
Executive pastors, operations leaders, campus pastors, and senior team members who own execution in their church. Lead pastors are welcome too — especially in churches where the lead pastor carries the operational load.
CAN I REALLY LEAD THIS MYSELF?
Yes. The framework was built for internal facilitation. Every session comes with a complete agenda and toolset, and you’ll practice the hardest parts during certification. When questions come up, the monthly coaching call is your backstop.
WHERE AND WHEN ARE CERTIFICATIONS HELD?
Certifications happen in person, in small cohorts of like-minded church leaders in different cities across the U.S.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE TWO DAYS?
You’ll master the six elements of the framework, work hands-on with every tool, practice facilitating the key sessions, and begin building your own church’s road map.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE TWO DAYS?
You lead. The resource library gives you every workbook and agenda you need, and the monthly group call with Gavin keeps you supported as you guide your team through the full cadence — Clarity sessions, quarterly Refuels, and your annual strategy session.
OUR CHURCH IS HEALTHY AND GROWING. IS THIS FOR US?
Especially for you. Growth creates complexity, and complexity is exactly what this framework organizes. Healthy churches use the Church Accelerator to steward momentum, develop leaders, and reach full potential.
THE CHAMPION
EVERY GREAT CHURCH HAS A GREAT ORGANIZATIONAL LEADER INSIDE THE BUILDING.
Vision fills the room on Sunday. Execution carries it through the week. In every church operating at full potential, one leader owns the how — turning vision into structure, structure into rhythm, and rhythm into results.
If you’re an executive pastor, an operations leader, or the person your team looks to when it’s time to make things work, that leader is you.
The Church Accelerator Certification equips you to lead your own team through a proven framework for organizational excellence.
EXECUTIVE PASTORS
You own the how. This certification hands you the complete framework — and the credential — to lead it.
OPERATIONS & CAMPUS LEADERS
You turn vision into structure every week. Now do it with world-class tools and a proven cadence.
THE PERSON WHO MAKES THINGS WORK
If your team looks to you when it’s time to execute, that leader is you. This was built for you.
WHO WE CERTIFY
THE LEADERS WE LOOK FOR.
- You own execution in your church. Vision becomes structure through you.
- You carry the trust of your leadership.
- You think strategically and lead through others.
