A 2-day Base Camp will align your staff, train your guest engagement team, and design an improved pathway for guests.
You’ll move closer than ever to connecting 1 out of 4 guests, defeat the post-COVID volunteer slump, and grow your church’s attendance (and income).
↓
When you don’t have a church-wide assimilation system that creates a clear pathway for guests to get connected at your church, you lose around 19 out of 20 guests within 6 to 10 months of their arriving.
That means few new volunteers, tired leaders, and attendance that declines due to lack of engagement.
Imagine not having to struggle so much to see new people step up to serve.
Picture people lingering in the hallways after church and not having to ask yourself if they are finding community or not.
Visualize not having to guess at the number of new people that are finding a home with Jesus and his family.
Can you imagine not being haunted by the number of guests God brought to your church that somehow “got away”?
In just 3 steps, your church can be healthier, stronger, and faithful to its call to make new followers of Jesus:
Step One: Have a 15m conversation with me about Base Camps
Step Two: Schedule a Base Camp at your church
Step Three: Let your team role out the new pathway with our help in the months following
Let us provide a Sherpa to guide you all the way to this new summit. We know this might feel like a big decision, but it is a simple one. We have done this for churches as small as 100 (and they have doubled in size every year for 4 years) and as large as 22,000 (with staff that are relieved to have a strategy that automatically pumps new blood into the heart of their ministries every month).
This journey begins with a no risk conversation.
Hosting a Base Camp will prevent you from falling into the two most common “death zones”
Lack of Buy-In 🥱
YOU know what to do. YOU know it will change your church for the better…
But is your executive leadership on board?
Is every department speaking the same language? Can the system really work if you’re the only one working it?
Failure to Launch 😵💫
The excitement fades. The meetings drag on. Sunday’s always coming…
Applying one tactic or piece of the system won’t lead to an engagement pathway that your guests love.
Base Camp creates total alignment for your entire team, and leaves you with a 4-12 month Sherpa Action Plan that ensures every part of the system comes to life.
Everyone wins with a church-wide assimilation system.
✅ Guests hear the same next steps from everyone they talk to
✅ Attendance grows because guests keep coming back
✅ Giving goes up as guests become fully connected
✅ Team Leaders have a consistent flow of new volunteers
✅ Admins are no longer managing chaos behind-the-scenes
✅ Your entire team isn’t reinventing the wheel every season

FAQ

The Sherpa Group Coaching Community is an online connecting place for pastors and church staff just like you, all ready to share ideas and help each other grow.
But it’s also much more than that! We offer unlimited coaching through this community—you post it, we respond! And since we restrict personalized coaching to this community only, engaging is the best way to get the most out of the video course.
-
If this is the case, you can either record the sessions and follow up with them afterward! Or, we can grant them temporary access to the Video Course so they can get up to speed.

We’d love to help you with whatever it takes to get team-wide alignment around your new assimilation strategy. This video was created with senior leadership in mind, so you can start by sharing it. We’d also love to plan an extended video call to answer questions and cast more vision. If that doesn’t cut it, you can consider asking them to go through the Video Course so they know what it’s all about!
