77 Ways to Ignite Your Church’s Mission
By Jeff Hoglen
Find an idea. Gather your people. Make it happen.
This isn’t a book to read cover to cover like a novel. It’s a resource to keep close when your church is ready to reach out. Open it with your team, find a creative outreach idea that fits your community, and work through what it takes to put it into action.

You don’t have to start with a blank page. Choose an idea, prepare your team, and take your next step beyond the church walls.

EVERY CHURCH HAS A NEXT STEP.
Where is your church right now?
You may be experiencing healthy growth, holding steady, or navigating decline. Wherever you are, we’re here to help you think through what’s next.
You planted it. You inherited it. You’re revitalizing it. Or you’ve been leading it for twenty years. You’re in the right place.
01 / YOUR CURRENT SEASON
Healthy Growth
People are connecting, disciples are growing, and ministry is expanding.
What to work on next
Strengthen the foundation. Develop leaders, care for volunteers, and build systems that support continued disciple-making. Prepare people to lead and multiply.
02 / YOUR CURRENT SEASON
Plateau
Attendance and participation have been fairly steady.
What to work on next
Get curious. Listen to your people and community. Review how newcomers connect, disciples grow, and leaders develop. Discern whether this is a season of consolidation or an opportunity to address a barrier.
03 / YOUR CURRENT SEASON
Decline
Attendance, participation, or ministry capacity has been shrinking.
What to work on next
Seek understanding together. Pray, listen, and look honestly at the contributing factors. Care for your people, clarify the mission, and choose a manageable first step toward renewal.
These are starting points for reflection. Attendance trends alone don’t tell us whether a church is healthy.
In every season, the mission remains: make disciples who make disciples.
Prayer is the foundation. Tools serve the mission.
We seek God before choosing a strategy. Scripture shapes our leadership, and dependence on God underlies every system we build. Our purpose is to help people follow Jesus, obey His Word, and make disciples who make disciples.
Our purpose is to help pastors develop people, strengthen healthy foundations, and keep disciple-making at the center of church life.
Beyond Church Planting exists for pastors and church leaders responsible for what happens after Sunday. Because what you’re building should outlast you.
You know your church. We’re here to help you think through what’s next.
