WARNING: This is an in-depth video! Because I think it matters so much to our churches - we go deep on this one. Comment below if you make it all the way to the end! 💪
Made it to the end screen! Love the content Brady. Production level just keeps getting better and the message was on point! 👍
Hi there thank you for this great info, however I can’t seem to find a the link to the spreadsheet. Please help
@@maxmonedi805 Here you are, Max: prochur.ch/2XaZxj8
Good Content
I appreciate this so much. I am one of the youngest members of my church and am trying to lead an aging congregation through this change and development, and your advice and such has been so incredibly helpful and timely. God truly led me to you. Thank you so much!
I have been in ministry development for over 30 years and (I must confess) started watching this video with a fair amount of skepticism. I was absolutely surprised and blessed with the practicality and insights for a straight-faced way to focus on sincere, life-changing ministry in the church that limits the room for excuses and prioritizes our mission.
I love this. This is the second or third time I'm watching this video and it came at a time when I was really concerned about the emphasis we put on butts in seats as the major evaluation for church growth. Thanks for sharing @bradyshearer. Your content is always enlightening and amazing.
Brady I happen to come across your video on church growth during the pre-pandemic. You shared some viable information that helps me understanding things that are done in the past wont even work for now because of the times we live in. I did an outline sermon entitled "Disciples Making Disciple" coming from Matthew 28:16-20 on our FB Live. I understand how Jesus would have us to do ministry and the main goal is to know what does it mean to be a disciple, the work of a disciple, and the specific message by which we must proclaim. (Ac. 1:8) I will like to take your advice concerning the growth of church ministry. There are many challenges by which the church is being challenge. Times have change; things are different. As a pastor whose online wants to see the growth of our church ministry. Thank you for all that you have shared thus far. May the Lord bless the work of what you are doing online.
Made it to the end. Thank you for your help. You are a great resource for smaller churches with limited resources.
Thanks for watching!
Although our New Year's resolutions may quickly crumble, God's plans never fail. If we'll make it our goal this year to learn to walk in His way rather than our own, we may be surprised what He will do. Instead of fretting over a decision, we'll learn to trust, rest, and wait on Him
Wonderful stuff Brady! Thanks!
Thank you sir for this helpful insight for our post-pandemic church growth. God bless
No, you're the hero. Thank you! Blessings from a small brazillian church.
Love what you do for us churches, always appreciated
This was very enlightening. Thank you
Yes! I made it to the end of the biggest communication shift in 500 years!
whoOop WhOoOp! Great content. Thank you!
peace up on you .thanks for your presentation
need more
Brady, thanks for putting this together! It's a cool paradigm shift for tracking growth.
Just had a 2 hour convo with someone about this today, and then this vid popped up! So good & very timely man... I wish more people knew how to use their ChMS to track this stuff. Once I figured out how to use forms, workflows, & lists in PCO to keep track of people going through Growth Track, signing up for a small group, serving, etc, it was like a whole new world of metrics opened up and it’s been so rewarding. Our church launches in 7 weeks and our systems are ready to go 💪🏼👏🏼 Pray for us bro, pandemic church planting isn’t the easiest 😂
I’d love to see a follow up vid with your workflow, and how you integrate this next steps system with Nucleus! I bet a ton of others would appreciate that vid too! Thanks again bro, great work.
This is was so GOOD. I am going to watch it a few more times and share with my Next Steps Team. Thanks for being such a Kingdom resource Brady!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this information! Can't wait to share with leaders!
Wow. This is so solid!!!
tomorrow i have church growth exam.. i am going to give exam by going through this video.. it is very helpful for me.. thank you brother..
I made it to the end.. I am not the pastor of my church but I support our pastors very much. Because of the pandemic our church migrated to online with live streams of our weekly service but I know it's just a pivot out of necessity. We have a vision for church growth but without church attendance to rely on, we don't know how to know if we are growing. This video definitely gave me a fresh perspective which I am excited to share with my pastors! Thank you for the work you do Brady! Will definitely share how it pans out with our church!
Ace Gucela Excited to hear it!
Great! Thank your for your help
Loved this, great thoughts and practical steps for implementation!
Okay, I made it to the end, but that only means I have to watch it again, and then probably again after that. Good stuff though. Been looking for help - may have found it. Thanks
Brand new to not only church communications, but as its director (day 10 today). Your videos really got me thinking and realizing we have a LONG ways to go but now I'm equipped with the tools to do so. So... thanks!
Welcome to the role :) We all started where you did. You got this!
Timely and relevant.
I actively came searching for content to help deal with the challenge of membership decline and limited participation and this video has set my mind on the right path.
Time to share with everyone I know in ministry!
Excellent!
Very helpful!!
Very fascinating and great work! I'm one of the "old gen-X" people, lol, but everything you say here makes perfect sense! One observation about the Barna data - looking carefully, there was actually a sharp drop in 2011 2012 ending in 2013. The numbers were fairly flat before and after those years. 2012 was the reelection of Barak Obama. Churches changed then and became overly political. That drove a lot of people away. Still does. Immigrant churches in the US and churches in other countries have not see a drop in members over the past 20 years. Some people did not return after COVID, but before COVID much of the church growth in the US is coming from immigrant churches.
Thank you for sharing these resources. We look forward to working through them at The Assembly in Florence, SC.
Thanks Brady. Great stuff here. We were in the process of planting and getting ready to do some community outreach and preview services when the pandemic hit. So we started doing online services 🤷🏻♂️.
The question has been "how do we actually plant a church when we are still not known to our community?" Online feels so over-satured and connecting with people has been difficult. Especially because we want to reach unreached people.
It’s a bit of a holding pattern in some respects. I think right now, with the state of the world where it’s at, the best question for our churches to ask is: “how can we serve our community” Connection and awareness will come from there.
Outstanding 🤩
Very insightful. Extremely helpful. You've gained a subscriber today sir.
Glad to have you 🙏
Thank you from Argentina. And thank you for the spreadsheet: very insightful¡¡¡
You have NO idea how much you are influencing our church in Calgary. We would love to connect with you and talk about how to recreate your message for mainline churches in Canada....specifically United Churches.
Hey I'm Danny Brooks from India..!! Your videos are very useful to create a strategy for my Church 🙂 I promise you that I'll keep you posted about our progress 🙏
This is great. I would be curious to see how it relates to shut-ins. Obviously, this is a very specific group, that is an outliner in relation to the video's topic itself.
We really need you to get to the States and come talk to us Lutheran Churches. Although stubbornness will be an issue, everything you say makes sense.
Thank you pastor for these great insights. Shalom from India
Thanks Brady, this is great! Our church is aware of and tracks many of these now but not in an organized way that actually combines them and allows us to see trends. This is brilliant! We should have been doing this earlier.
made it to the end! Thanks for the "7 rules"!
I returned to this video again because I think it's so important and I want to start implementing some of these suggestions. Could you give an example of how you would use the Google sheet to practically track church members? Do you multiply the assigned points per person who it applies to? And then do you total the points each week? Or do you look at the overall numbers per category and rank according to importance?
I have this same question. Does each individual get a score or is this an overall church score each week?
Thanks for the encouragement and challenge Brady. We know things will continue to change, so it's a good reminder that some things must not.
Thanks for resourcing churches too. You're a great help.
Made it to the end! Awesome stuff!
God job sir🤝
Brady thank you for sharing your insights and thoughts. We've wrestled with this as well. Glad to see content online to help the global church navigate this unprecedented time
I’m a hero. Thanks Brady. Good work
Thankful for your channel! 💕
Thanks for the video Brady. Very much appreciated!
thanks for the tips
Love this video!
I really think that, if implemented properly, this could transform the overall reach & effectiveness of local church ministries.
Justin Blankenship that’s my belief as well 🙏
Great video. Very thought provoking.
I am low-key disappointed that this was the same point that you made in previous videos however I am High key - appreciative of the consistency and timelessness of truth. Thank you!
It's true. I've coached a lot of churches this summer, and so many of the issues we're trying to fix are symptoms of a greater problem. And when we get to the root of it, so often it's based in how they evaluate their efforts and the "why" behind what they do. Fix that and everything else can begin to fall into place.
Great approach, Brady! Frameworks are incredibly helpful tools to identifying what's truly important to our churches - Love it!
MADE IT! Thanks for all your help! Excellent!
Thanks.
Thanks Brady! We started to use the "old" Church Growth calculator and this helps us to start over since Rona hit :(
Thanks for this excellent video, Brady! Very timely for our church, I will be sharing it with the rest of our pastoral staff! (Even though I'm watching it Year later...)
M888 this was very good, thanks for posting your video.. Always timely and encouraging. Blessings
Thank you very much
MADE IT!!
Thank you
i am starting a ministry in the philippines in a post pandemic world and these topics will be of great help. i look into the website and check also the month subscription it cost a lot in comparison to ph. pesos we hope there are different price list for different parts of the world to make it more accessible all over the globe. thanks again.
This is why we offer scholarships! You can apply here: www.nucleus.church/scholarships
Hey Brady, where are you located? I think the viability of in-person church is pretty different in my area (Georgia) where many churches have been "back to normal" for over a year. Many (but certainly not all) churches that have prioritized in-person gatherings have seen growth, I think at the expense of churches that have deemphasized in-person gatherings. I think that one impact of the pandemic is that it has greatly increased the impact of regional differences on church life.
This was awesome, thank you!!
I made it to the end of the video... Appreciate it! You're a lot taller than I thought...
Ah yeah, I'm definitely 6 foot 2. Totally.
Thank you all the way from SA. I needed this
Thanks for this. So powerful, thoughtful and wise.
Good job! I’ll share it with the leadership.
Great video. I will be taking this to my church.
Excellent as always. And can we talk about how beautifully this shot was framed for a second?!
The new at-home studio. Really pleased with how it turned out.
i learned a lot in this video, thank you so much!
This is VERY helpful. Many thanks.
Really good, practical steps - got to the end, only took me 4 hours because ... life 😀
Thx Brandy, im starting a church in my City. I'll try this tracking.
Is it hard to register an church and get tax exempt status and can the church own assets like real estate for long time value for church finance?
I wish I could give this two thumbs-up! Great stuff, Brady!
These are so helpful Brady, thank you!
Paul said not to compare ourselves to ourselves.
Thank you for sharing! Great insight!
This was amazing, Brady. Thanks for all you do.
Sweet! I’m a hero! haha/wink.
Hey Brady: you mentioned we’re living in the largest “communication shift in 500 years”, is that specific to the ‘digital age’ or something else? Thx! 🙏🏽🔥🤙🏽
Sharing with our new senior pastor.
Amen
Thanks Brady, great video!
Great content! Thank you for sharing with others and being about the kingdom growing!
Bro! Great stuff! LOVE IT! YOU DA MAN!

I am a freaking hero!
Mauricio Torres YES YOU ARE

thank you thank you thank you
I’m a hero!
FirstUMCOnline YES YOU ARE
I'd love to see an updated version of this video for the post-pandemic church growth world. I expect much of the content would be the same (if not all), but removing the uncertainty surrounding the churches opening, etc, would make it much more shareable and relevant to the current state of the church and post-pandemic world. Thanks for keeping the content flowing, Brady! Looking forward to more!
Thanks!!
Can you show your lighting configuration for this particular video set up?
that's real good stuff there...
I am highly skeptical when people say "Church Growth". I listen with a very cynical ear, if I listen at all. Since I am subscribed to this channel, I know you ain't all bad ;) . This idea is not too bad. It's not some gimmick program. It's not even a program. It's just a tracking method that allows me to track what I want to track and weight it accordingly.
Our Sunday morning service is either drive-in and sit in your car, get out of your car and sit in the grass, go inside (with reservations and spaced out seats), or stay home and watch everything online. A couple of adult small groups are meeting or you can watch online. No children's ministries at all. Tracking online participation is impossible, unless you cracked that code on your Nucleus site.
I agree, this is a time that we can completely rethink how we are doing ministry, since we cannot do hardly anything we were doing before.
Glad you were willing to give it a chance, Nelson. “Church growth” is certainly a phrase that can be used a lot of different ways.
Thank you for the content. This is great info. Do you have any content around virtually opening the doors to the church? Text to join?
