Episode 30: Get Personal: Transitioning Church Leadership for Growth Beyond 200 People with Todd Tolson
“Church growth is just as mechanical as it is spiritual. There's a lot of crossover between church growth and business growth.” —Todd Tolson
Reaching 200 attendees is a make-or-break moment for any church. It's the divide between stagnation and the potential for exponential growth. However, breaking through this invisible ceiling requires changes— in leadership, in programming, in community outreach.
Todd Tolson has over 30 years of experience in vocational ministry. Through the implementation of strategic growth practices, he helped plant and grow multiple churches. Todd now focuses on coaching other pastors on effective church planting and expansion through his company, The Church Playbook.
Tune in as Scott and Todd discuss the power of making church personal again, the benefits of creating a ‘dream 100 list’ to expand reach, the importance of developing sustainable schedules and leadership models that support growth, and more.
