“The intelligence failure is over. The signal has been separated from the noise. You now have rails to run on. What are you going to do?”

The Great Spiritual Migration — Burge & Graham
What You Walk Away With

A Church Health Diagnostic Brief

Not theory. A scored assessment of your church measured against the 20-Point Rechurching Audit and the principles of The Great Spiritual Migration.

Audit

20-Point Rechurching Audit

Every item scored YES, PARTIAL, or NO with consultant notes. Three domains: Open the Front Door, Close the Back Door, Send Out the Equipped.

Financials

Financial & Operational Diagnostics

Revenue trends, payroll ratios, staffing analysis, reserves, spending allocation — benchmarked against healthy church standards.

Environments

Ministry Environments Assessment

Scored across five concentric circles: The Crowds, The 500, The 72, The 12, The 3 — modeled on Jesus' ministry pattern.

Action Plan

Priority Recommendations

Ordered by quarter — Q1 immediate (0–90 days), Q2 near-term, Q3 strategic — with concrete next steps mapped to your church's gaps.

The XP Role

Fluency Across Every Domain

Executive pastors operate across all of these areas — often simultaneously. We build fluency in each one and optimize the processes behind them for maximum ministry impact.

The Framework

Three Domains of Church Health

Based on the Rechurching Toolkit developed by Jim Davis, Michael Graham, and Ryan Burge in partnership with The Gospel Coalition.

Domain One

Open the Front Door

Guest experience, digital strategy, community onboarding, newcomer assimilation, faithful teaching addressing cultural idols, relational wisdom training.

Domain Two

Close the Back Door

Membership process, pastoral care systems, spiritual formation plans, student ministry pipeline, mental health infrastructure, abuse prevention policies.

Domain Three

Send Out the Equipped

Gospel-sharing training, community mobilization, doctrinal education, parent equipping, evangelism that meets people in their deepest wants and fears.

Grounded in The Great Spiritual Migration — a survey of 100,000 Americans on switching, staying, and leaving church.
Your Instructors

Led by Practitioners

Not academics lecturing from the stage. Operators and researchers who have been in the trenches.

Chip Schroeder

Ministry of Order

Private equity managing director and Stanford graduate, currently in seminary. Brings decades of high-performance operational leadership to the church — the same rigor that runs a portfolio company, applied to the engine room of ministry.

Casey Sapp

Ministry of Order

Serial entrepreneur and startup founder with deep experience in emerging technology, systems architecture, and operational strategy. Brings the builder's mindset and innovation toolkit to church operations.

Michael Graham

Advisor · The Keller Center, TGC

Co-author of The Great Dechurching and The Great Spiritual Migration. Executive producer, As in Heaven podcast. Program Director at The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics. The research foundation behind the bootcamp.

Limited Enrollment

This Is Not a Conference

A focused, practitioner-led session. Space is intentionally small. You bring the data, we bring the frameworks. Everyone leaves with a plan.
