Here you’ll discover Classic Church Growth Theory applied to the Challenges of the Modern Church.
Because it’s true that healthy church systems lead to a healthy, God-honoring and growing church! By God’s grace, I’ve identified and developed the Eight Systems of a Healthy Church® that I’ve used to coach over 3,500 churches in the US and around the world. These churches have adapted the eight systems to their unique ministry fields, resulting in great health and growth! Here’s a proven formula to apply to your ministry:
Healthy Systems = Healthy Church = Growing Church = Kingdom Impact
I encourage you to explore our site, download my free Eight Systems E-book, and join me on the path to church health and growth — so we can ultimately reach more people for Christ!

“It’s so worth it! Yes, it’s an investment in time and money, but it’s an investment that will pay off. I have already seen my church turn around thanks to the Senior Pastor Coaching Network. Now I’m seeing it grow and evangelize thanks to Titanium.”
Eric Waters, St. John Lutheran Church, Boerne, TX
“If you want to break out of the maintenance, survival mentality of pastoral ministry, join the Renegade Pastors Network, and at a minimum, complete the Senior Coaching program.”
Mark Snead, Greater Life Church, Nampa, ID
“This network has been the best investment for me and our church. It was the catalyst needed to get me out of the rut of routine when we planted the church. And now it is the vital resource for equipping and encouraging sustained implementation of the systems in our local context.”
Earl Grant, Covenant Community Church, San Antonio, TX
“The Renegade Pastors Network has been indispensable in my ministry for the last dozen years. Nelson’s teaching and training on the Eight Systems of a Healthy Church have helped the churches I have served to experience growth and be much more effective in ministry.”
John Hauck, First United Methodist Church, Kewanee, IL
“Give it a try. I’ve been in it since the beginning and it has really helped me in ministry, as a pastor, and as a person.”
Steve Smith, SonRise Christian, Virginia Beach, VA
“This network is a game changer, first for you as a pastor. No one truly is all that interested in investing in your personal growth. Nelson is the exception. Before you can change your church, God has to change you. The Renegade Pastors Network does that. Then add the elements of the seminars for church growth and it all comes together. You no longer have to do it all on your own.”
Roger House, Allen Street Baptist Church, Clinton, MO
“The Renegade Pastors Network is the single greatest investment you can make towards growing your church. Period.”
Lon Dean, House of Praise, Castleton, NY
“Whether you are just starting in ministry or are a veteran, Nelson’s knowledge and systems are a home run for any and all means of capacity in which you serve.”
Harley Gentry, Bethel CM Church, Butler, GA
