The Sherpa Tribe
Ongoing coaching, tools, and implementation support for churches serious about turning guests into deeply connected, serving members.
Most churches assimilate fewer than 1 in 20 first-time guests into ongoing community.
Not 1 in 5. Not 1 in 10. One in twenty. That means for every 20 people who walked through your doors last year — people who searched for a church, or were finally invited by a friend, or showed up in the middle of something hard — 19 of them are gone.
And here's what makes that number sting: those aren't cold prospects. They came to you. They were already in your hand. One bird in the hand is supposed to be worth two in the bush — but when you're losing 19 of every 20, that math is more like one bird in hand for every 20 in the bush. Every disconnected guest is real kingdom loss: a relationship that didn't form, a group seat that stayed empty, a volunteer who never showed up, a family that never got to belong.
This isn't a people problem. It's a systems problem. And systems can be fixed.
Three reasons this membership pays for itself.
Most training programs hand you a system to copy. They give you tips to try and send you home with a workbook. The Sherpa Tribe does something harder and more valuable: it teaches your team how to think about connection culture — in every ministry area, at every stage of the guest journey, in your specific context.
When your team starts seeing your church through that lens, it changes how they run welcome teams, how they structure follow-up, how they design environments, how they talk about groups. You're not just implementing a program. You're building a culture.
And when assimilation improves, every other ministry investment performs better. Groups fill. Volunteer pipelines stabilize. Giving grows — not because you asked harder, but because people who belong give. The goal was never better attendance numbers. The goal was transformation. But transformation requires belonging, and belonging requires someone to intentionally build the path.

Built by practitioners. Taught from the inside.
Greg spent years building assimilation culture from inside a church that became one of the fastest-growing in the country. He doesn't teach theory — he teaches what he actually built, refined, and watched produce results at scale. Greg is the coaching heartbeat of the Tribe.
Tommy has worked alongside Greg to turn that practitioner experience into a system other churches can actually implement — with the tools, frameworks, and accountability to make it stick. Between them, they've worked with churches across a wide range of sizes and contexts.
What happens when churches actually build the system.
You're already paying to get people in the door.
The question is whether you're going to pay to keep them. $2,400 a year. 52 weeks of coaching, tools, and support. A team that's helped churches across the country stop losing the people God is already sending them — and build the kind of connection culture that turns guests into disciples.
Work through one Video Action Plan and four live coaching calls. No meaningful progress? Greg and Tommy will give you two private coaching sessions at no charge.
Still not satisfied? They'll refund your remaining balance.
That's not a marketing promise. It's a confidence statement from people who know this works.
