Rise has passion to see more people find love and healing in Jesus through the local church

Let’s face it, everybody needs to feel loved, be in community and be healed, both physically, emotionally and spiritually. We believe the best place for this to happen is through the local church. But not everyone knows this, believes it or has experienced it. And not every church knows how to connect with their community and use digital tools and strategy to do it well. That’s where we come in.

We are committed to church growth using a proven marketing and data driven approach

Taking our experience from years in marketing and consulting agencies, we take the same data driven approach which helps big commercial brands succeed and apply it to the the local church. Our process looks like:

1. Connect

A call between Rise and the church leadership is an important step in our journey to support your church’s growth. We aim to foster a collaborative and friendly atmosphere, seeking to learn from you about your church’s distinct requirements, obstacles, and future vision.

2. Assess

We work through a system to fully understand your audience, church and community. It can be summarised as: Understanding vision, Congregation Analysis, Community (offline) Research, Community (online) Research, Create engagement pathway, Online presence, Success.

3. Research

The research phase in our church growth consultancy process is crucial as it helps fill knowledge gaps and provides a deep understanding of the church’s audience. This step allows us to tailor our strategy precisely to the church’s context based on solid data and fosters curiosity within the church leadership about their community.

4. Plan

This phase is essential for building a structured, transparent partnership. Formalizing strategies, objectives, and metrics (KPIs) ensures clarity and alignment, creating a roadmap for church growth. Clear roles, measurable targets, and a sense of accountability enhance collaboration and increase the likelihood of success in our partnership.

5. Initial & long form tests

This dynamic phase involves swift implementation of selected ideas after thorough research to assess their practical effectiveness based on real-world results, saving time and resources. This iterative process ensures growth initiatives are well-informed and responsive to changing dynamics, leading to more successful outcomes in less time.

6. Review and next steps

The “Review and Next Steps” phase in our church growth consultancy is a moment of reflection and strategic forward planning using real time data. After three months of testing growth concepts, it helps identify effective ideas and those needing more nurturing. This step ensures dynamic and responsive growth efforts. It’s an evidence-based approach that channels resources and efforts into strategies likely to yield sustainable results.
