Grow Your Church Strong (GYCS) will train pastors and church leaders to evaluate the current state of their churches and develop a strategy for growth.
“Church attendance is at an all-time low. Many churches are struggling to keep their doors open,” Foster said. “We developed GYCS to assist pastors and leaders with the strategies they need to develop a strong church—not just increase in number, but grow in every part of their organization.”
Foster said he was overwhelmed with inquiries from church leaders nationwide who were seeking solutions for strengthening their churches. He began to see the need for an Internet-based program capable of a further reach than he could provide.
“It has been absolutely impossible to work hands-on with everybody, so we developed a system that would allow us to work with pastors and leaders without overextending our organization,” Foster said. “[The program] is affordable for every church and has the resources we used to triple church attendance.”
In addition to solid resources and coaching, the GYCS provides a forum for pastors who want to connect with other church leaders.
“Most pastors are doing ministry alone,” Foster said. “I’m getting calls from pastors all the time about how lonely they feel.
“Your network is your net worth, and when you join GYCS you are instantly connected to an unlimited network. Imagine an environment where you can obtain financial growth strategies, get creative ideas for youth ministry, or even learn how to increase speaking engagements from other pastors and leaders.
