Ministry isn’t meant to burn you out

Other approaches pile more on pastors. Ours shares the load. We activate lay leaders, align your staff, and build ministries your congregation owns, so momentum lasts beyond you.

“The Strategic Growth Process provided a common language by distilling our values, vision, and mission and looking at our goals while considering our strengths and weaknesses. We feel much more unified in knowing where we’re headed.”

Before working with FiveTwo, we had a general understanding that God wanted us to share the gospel with people. The Strategic Growth Process provided a common language by distilling our values, vision, and mission and looking at our goals while considering our strengths and weaknesses. We feel much more unified in knowing where we’re headed.

FiveTwo helped us realize there are biblical ways to grow our church and that God has given us all the resources we need to do it. They understood our individual ministry context and helped us break out of structures that were holding us back and keeping us from growing.
Stennis Shotts
Hill Country Fellowship
We are motivated to grow the kingdom of God and it requires a clear vision, mission and set of values. I know I speak for our whole team when I say working with FiveTwo has been a real pleasure. We have made great progress over the past several months and are looking forward to the next steps.

FiveTwo helped me confirm my calling and brought more clarity to the next steps. We feel prepared to scale our ministry and reach more people through the work we’ve done with FiveTwo.
Dan Schmidtke

It feels like I am getting reassurance from GOD that I am doing the right things. FiveTwo has given me knowledge to improve the organization of our ministry’s budget and define mission objectives I would highly recommend FiveTwo for anyone that is considering starting a ministry.

Before engaging with FiveTwo I, along with leaders of our congregation, had a passion for connecting the gospel in a meaningful way to those in our community, but the ideas we were looking at were new and beyond any we had experienced. Through FiveTwo we were able to connect with other entrepreneurial church leaders, we gained ideas, learned from their experiences, and realized that God has given us more resources for this than we first thought.
Eric Creekmore
Hill Country Bible Church
As a church that has been active in planting multiplying churches for almost 3 decades, we are always looking for new tools to help us do that better. We started working with FiveTwo when we wanted to equip a co-vocational planter who to not only plant a church but to focus his business to accommodate ministry. FiveTwo gave us the online tools and in person coaching and facilitation we needed to plant, what was for us, a new model of church. I would highly recommend Five Two as a resource for equipping planters in this new season of church planting.
Rev. Dr. Kevin Wilson, President
Ohio District LCMS
The Ohio District LCMS brought FiveTwo on board to lead a series of four regional congregational summits. The summits were the key district initiative for this triennium, so it was important to work with an organization with a proven track record for these gatherings. FiveTwo met and exceeded our expectations. The summits were designed to help congregations that were stuck after the pandemic move forward in mission and ministry. Bill Woolsey helped churches understand their current health, gain insights about the current culture, and put together next steps for ministry. In the weeks after the summits we already have congregations more actively engaging in mission and ministry.
Eric Hawley, Site Leader
Trinity Lutheran Church – Galewood, IL
Maybe one of the greatest moments of success FiveTwo influenced was our Easter Egg Event we hosted at our site. Y’all helped us have an imagination of what hosting 100+ people could really be like. We put up signs, invited people, and we didn’t get 100 people. We had 250+ register! We were SHOCKED! We’ve never had that happen before. Regular members were saying things like…This is what Sunday could look like!
Tim Ahlman, Senior Pastor
Christ Greenfield – Gilbert, Arizona
I was struggling to train our entrepreneurial leaders to start their own ministries. Because of our congregation’s debt situation, it was still imperative that we empower our lay leaders to start new ministries, that they “own,” to reach the lost. In FiveTwo, we found a willing and gifted partner in fanning into flame the dreams of our lay leaders.

Holy Cross Lutheran Church – Spokane, Washington
If you have a heart for reaching the lost and just need encouragement and wisdom for starting, FiveTwo is the place to find it.
