The Church Accelerator Process
The death of cultural Christianity combined with a growing indifference to faith necessitates a new, more intentional church strategy.
Let's partner together to
DISCOVER your current reality,
DESIGN an improved strategy, and
DELIVER a successful solution.
“When the rate of change in your community exceeds the adaptability of your church, the only outcome is irrelevance.“
– Gavin Adams
“As a coach, Gavin’s external perspective clarified our vision and helped us build a better model for our community. As a mentor, his ministry experience allows him to encourage our team while providing unique insight. RCC is better because of Gavin. And I am a better pastor, leader, and communicator because of our relationship.”
Paul Smith
Senior Pastor, Rivertown Community Church - Marianna, FL
How we partner together
Each consulting process happens in three distinct phases.
PHASE 1: DISCOVER YOUR REALITY
- What are you trying to do?
- Who do you hope to be?
- How is it going?
- How have things changed?
PHASE 2:
DESIGN YOUR STRATEGY
- Describe your desired destination.
- Design a ministry model that meets the demands of your mission, community, and cultural moment.
- Designate tactics and delegate steps.
- Define success.
PHASE 3: DELIVER YOUR SOLUTION
- Organize your staff to better orchestrate the strategy.
- Incrementally and sequentially implement the plan.
- Measure progress and perfect the system.
- Ongoing coaching to monitor progress, answer questions, and improve the implementation.
Working on your church is challenging when you're so busy working in it. That's where I can help.
Hi. I’m Dr. Gavin Adams, a strategic consultant and leadership partner focused on adding more intention to your church mission.
After a decade in the marketplace, I spent the next 15 years leading a church. On my first Sunday as a lead pastor of Woodstock City Church, we had 200 people and $400 in the bank. With plenty of intentionality, our church expanded to 5,000 weekly attendees while portable and then to 8,000 per week after moving into our first building.
During my 15 years of church leadership, I learned how to systematically:
- Reach those far from God and engage them in a discipleship journey.
- Inspire consumers to become contributors.
- Leverage moments to create movement, not just memories.
- Grow funding and volunteer engagement at all levels of the church.
- Organize our staff to best orchestrate our mission.
- Continually evaluate our success and adjust to our changing community.
Are you ready to add more intention to your mission?
- Plenty of work, but little progress,
- 70 Hours of unused, discretionary time per week,
- Confusion about how to best reach people in your community,
- And an ongoing lack of discipleship.

Consulting Partnership Specialties
I prefer the term “partnership” over consultant.
Consultants evaluate and suggest solutions. I’ll certainly help you there.
But I’d prefer we build a working, relational partnership to discover what’s happening in your church, design unique, custom strategies and models, and deliver our solutions. I’m with you the entire way.
Organizational "Life Cycles" don't have to define your organizational life.
Together, we can recycle your organization with updated strategies and models.
Most organizations start, grow, and thrive before slowly stagnating into decline. The problem isn’t your organization. It’s your strategies, methods, and plans.
Your current strategy was most likely created for a previous reality. Models are built for moments.
