Could Your Church Double in 60 Days? This One Did…

If you read this blog regularly, you know that the reason I keep leading Coaching Networks is because I’m addicted to the results.

After coaching over 1,200 Senior Pastors, it never gets old hearing about how God is working in churches all over the U.S. and beyond – old churches, new churches, large churches, small churches, city churches, rural churches, etc.

Here’s one such encouraging email I received recently from Ken Hoelscher, Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Participant and Lead Pastor of Carmel Mountain Church, a new church in San Diego, California:

Hey Nelson,

Just a quick update on what has been happening at CMC.

We have doubled in the last 60 days! The direct mail advertising has been working, however the results are still lower than I would like to see. If we can improve our results we’ll be growing even faster!

Our assimilation rate is good – we are retaining about 68% of the people who visit. We have really good services and a great Sunday experience.  We are looking to add another service and we may just not go back, we will see how the next couple of months go.

We will try to keep growing through the summer with various events and outreaches, with the goal of starting a third service on our one-year anniversary on 9/18.

This is all good news…

We’re working now to double our volunteer teams so we can move to two services. This is a good problem for sure.

I wanted to give you a heads-up on how things have been going around here.

It has been exciting!

WOW – Keep up the good work Ken!

Hello pastor Nelson Searcy. I have a qestion to you. Some of the other elders of my church (in Norway) argue that it is possible to break the rule of 70 percent by active guiding the visitors to their seats, and in that way be able to fill up the church to a higher degree before one have to make a second service or finding more space elsewere.What is your opinion and experiences? With best regards Harald Hjelde, elder of Trondheim Free Church, Norway
