When I arrived we were running less than 40 people and it took us 12 years to break the 100 barrier. Seven years ago, we began implementing the principles in the Assimilation Seminar. Our paradigm completely shifted. We now average 9 first time guests every week and 80% of them return back as a second time guest. We went from 110 people to nearly 350 in four years. This Assimilation Seminar will change your culture!

We were big in evangelism but we were not effective in keeping people. It wasn’t until the Assimilation Seminar with Nelson Searcy that we had an intentional plan to follow up with people. We’re now able to retain the people who come in to our church.
Paul Earle
Your seminars and resources are so practical and helpful. I know that implementing the things I’ve learned from you has made it easier for God to work through our congregation to reach non-churched people from my community.
David Michel
The church systems are very good. But what makes Nelson so good is the bigger picture that he brings to everything. He knows so many people — both by coaching and as mentors — and reads so much that he is able to pass on the best of his learning to those in his network.
Jeff Fartro
I enjoy the nuts and bolts approach. I am a systems/process thinker and the network helps me think through different areas of our church and challenges the way I think about our processes and how I lead/pastor.
Andy Rainey
Second only to my relationship with God is my family. In a growing church this can be a challenge. I am thankful for Nelson’s coaching to keep my priorities God honoring. I have seen so many pastors struggle in their marriage and their kids end up resenting the church. The principles I have learned have helped me make my marriage better than ever and both my boys love the church. All the while having 6 years of steady growth the church is now 5 times larger than we started. It is possible.
Michael Shreve
Joining the Senior Pastor Coaching Network will be a personal and ministry- impacting experience. It brings real clarity to what’s required to lead a growing church. It will be an investment into yourself and your ministry.
Jesse Giddens
When I first heard about the eight church systems, my first thought was this could help the ministry of my church go to a whole new level. Well, it has! Our giving has increased 10% every year, we’ve grown from 200 to 330 in morning worship, there are now 150 volunteers and we actually have a system for following up with first-time guests.
Rick Rouse
Being a part of this network has helped me to lead our church more effectively, reverse what had been a slow decline, mobilize greater numbers of our people in outreach and service, reach and retain more new people, and significantly raise the level of generosity in our church.
Robert Haynes
Nelson gives you a plan — then we get to wrestle with it, apply it and he is there to offer suggestions based on how we are doing. I didn’t get the practical side of ministry in Seminary and this filled the gaps for me when I got the ‘big’ office at church. I knew how to preach — I needed to know how the church ran and what my role was as we look at all the systems; what was missing, working, needing attention.
Timothy Thiessen
The Renegade Pastors Network is the single greatest investment you can make towards growing your church. Period.
