Your church is healthy. Your people love it. So why does growth still feel this hard?

You’re in the Right Place If …
- You're doing all the right things — great teaching, solid teams — yet guest flow feels inconsistent.
- Big days spike … then everything settles back to where it was.
- You sense invitation should be more natural, but you're not sure how to build that into your culture..

Here’s What You’ll Learn Inside the Workshop
Why Healthy Churches Get Stuck
Discover the hidden reason your church is doing all the right things — but invitation and guest flow still feel inconsistent.
The 5 Gears of Invite Culture
The same systems growing churches use to move from "hoping people invite" to making invitation an everyday part of your culture.
Your 90-Day Invite Culture Blueprint
A practical plan to mobilize your people, multiply invitations, and build real momentum heading into fall 2026.
Why This Matters NOW
Every week your church doesn't have an intentional invite culture, you're leaving growth on the table — not because your people don't care, but because they don't know what to say, when to say it, or that it's even expected.
Meanwhile, the churches that are growing right now aren't doing more. They've just made invitation normal.
The difference between where you are and where you want to be isn't effort. It's alignment.
This workshop shows you where the gaps are — and exactly what to do about them.

I'm Rich — the guy behind the unSeminary Podcast (800+ episodes!) and the founder of the Church Growth Incubator.
For twenty years, I've had a front-row seat to what's actually working inside growing churches across North America. And here's what I keep seeing: the churches that are growing aren't doing more — they've just made invitation normal.
Most church leaders I talk to are doing great ministry. Solid teaching, strong teams, genuine heart for their community. But when I ask, "How many of your people invited someone this month?" the room gets quiet. That's not a failure — it's a gap. And it's exactly the kind of gap this workshop is designed to help you close.
I built this training because I believe your church is closer to momentum than you think — and sometimes all it takes is seeing where the gears aren't connecting yet.
Can't wait to spend this time with you.

Live Q&A with Rich
Bring your specific situation. Get direct, no-fluff answers to the invite culture challenges your church is actually facing.
Can This Really Work for Our Church?
Yes — and here's why. Invite culture isn't about adding programs, hiring staff, or launching a marketing campaign. It's about aligning what you're already doing so your people feel confident and equipped to invite.
You'll walk away with clarity on what's stalling invitation at your church — and a practical plan to fix it.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We've got A's for your Q's
What if I can’t attend live?
Register anyway—we’ll send the replay and the slides so you can share with your team.
Is this only for big churches?
Nope. It’s built for churches 500ish–1,500ish in attendance (and adapts up or down with simple tweaks).
Will this just be theory?
No fluff. You’ll see a simple 90-day blueprint, concrete examples, and exactly where to start this month.
We’re already slammed—how much time will this take?
60 minutes for the workshop, plus a plan that fits into your existing rhythms (no new departments required).
Do I need a marketing budget or fancy tech?
No. We focus on people, processes, and repeatable systems you can run with tools you already have.
Can I bring my team?
Please do. Register each person so everyone gets the reminders, replay, and downloads.
Is this denominationally specific?
It’s not. The principles are ministry-agnostic and work across lots of life-giving Jesus-focused churches!
Will there be a hard pitch?
Zero pressure. At the end, Rich will share next-step resources for leaders who want more support ... then it’s your call.
We already have a plan—why come?
Use the session to stress-test your plan against five proven growth levers and close any gaps before 2026 kicks off.
What will I leave with?
A clear 90-day growth blueprint, examples from thriving churches, and answers to your specific questions in live Q&A.
