MEET THE TEACHERS
Trey and Caleb have been doing ministry side-by-side since 2017, building Passion Creek Church from the ground up. Together, they’ve broken key growth barriers—going from 85 to 150 to over 250 in weekly attendance in the last three years. Their partnership has been marked by grit, clarity, and spiritual maturity. As co-architects of the practices that shape their congregation, they’ve led their church to not just grow numerically, but to form deeper disciples for the long haul.
MOMENTUM FLYWHEEL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
It’s a set of simple but strategic actions repeated over time to create compounding impact. Inspired by Jim Collins’ Good to Great, our flywheel helps turn casual visitors into committed disciples—one step at a time.
-
You can do whatever you’d like and we hope you contextualize this to your congregation.
However, the flywheel gains strength as each part feeds into the next. Rather than relying on sporadic events or guesswork, this system ensures consistent, compounding engagement over time.
-
Not at all. This system was built when we were still portable and struggling to break 100 people. The key is not size—it’s consistency.
-
Do “Start Here” first.
This is the most doable and the most impactful if you’re limited on time or resources.Why?
It immediately gives structure to your follow-up process with new guests.
It requires less planning than launching new groups or teams.
It builds relational equity and offers a natural moment for pastoral vision casting.
And it’s the pivot point between attending and belonging.
-
No. This isn’t about hype—it’s about hospitality. Our goal isn’t just to grow numbers but to create a clear and compelling path for people to feel welcomed, known, and invited into deeper discipleship.
MATURITY PATHWAY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
That’s okay. The pathway is built to be invitational, not overwhelming. You can start small, adapt it to your context, and grow into it over time.
-
Nope. We encourage you to localize your own set of practices based on the idols and needs of your city. Use our framework as inspiration, not a prescription.
-
We recommend a 4-week teaching series per practice, followed by an 8-week “trial run” to reinforce it through celebration, community, and real-life stories.
-
Start by modeling the practices personally and casting vision consistently. You can also use our templates and tools to build alignment one conversation at a time.
-
This isn’t just a teaching calendar—it’s a formation pathway. Every practice is intentionally tied to the next, creating a yearlong narrative that shapes your people from the inside out.
MANAGEMENT PLAYBOOK FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
We value quality and want to do things right. We are currently creating and producing the content so that it’s easily downloadable and transferrable for your context. We appreciate your patience.
We also know the Momentum Flywheel alone will require a lot of your time before moving onto the next thing.
-
Yes—but not only as managers. While a pastor is first and foremost a shepherd and spiritual director, the New Testament also expects church leaders to organize, equip, and steward the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11–13, Titus 1:7). Management isn’t about control—it’s about clarity. It ensures your vision doesn’t die in the fog of confusion or chaos. Good management frees you to lead more prayerfully and pastor more personally.
-
Because clarity scales. A playbook makes your values actionable, your expectations replicable, and your team alignment sustainable. Without one, you’ll find yourself answering the same questions over and over, scrambling to fix the same issues, and burning out from the chaos. A playbook doesn’t replace people—it empowers them.
-
The goal isn’t to corporatize the church—it’s to contextualize wisdom. Even the early church in Acts 6 realized that healthy delegation and operational systems were necessary for growth. Jesus led with compassion and strategy. Management in the Kingdom is not about hierarchy—it’s about stewardship, ownership, and mission flow.
-
A great playbook includes a culture guide, a healthy org chart, clear job expectations, and 90-day goals.
It should reflect your culture, not copy another church’s strategy. At Pastors Are Directors, we walk you through building a playbook that’s not just functional—but formational.
