Churches move ‘Forward when vision meets action.

The Forward Church moves ‘Forward by using 6 distinct tools
Direction: Clarify the Vision that Moves Everything.
Every church needs a clear and compelling direction to move with purpose. Using the Direction tool, we help you define your vision, mission, and values so your entire team knows where you’re going and why it matters. This isn’t just about catchy statements—it’s about creating language your leaders can rally around and decisions that reflect your calling. When direction is clear, unity and momentum follow.
Drivers: Empower the Right People to Move the Mission Forward.
Your church’s vision can’t move forward without the right people in the right seats. Using the Drivers tool, we help you clarify your leadership structure, define roles, and empower key leaders to take ownership. Every ministry needs clear accountability and aligned leadership to thrive. This step ensures that your team isn’t just filling positions—they’re driving the mission with purpose, clarity, and collaboration.
Dashboards: Measure What Matters Most.
You can’t manage what you don’t measure. The Dashboards tool, we help you identify and track the key metrics that reveal your church’s health, growth, and impact. From attendance to discipleship engagement, giving trends to volunteer involvement, we’ll help you build a custom dashboard that keeps your team aligned and focused. When the right data is in front of you, smarter decisions—and greater progress—follow.
Obstacles: Identify What Is Holding You Back.
Every church faces barriers—but not every church names them. Using the Obstacles tool, we help you surface the challenges, blind spots, and bottlenecks that are holding your church back. Whether it's unclear systems, team tension, ministry silos, or cultural drift, we guide you to diagnose the root issues and solve them together. Breakthrough begins when you face the real issues with courage and clarity.
Operations: Build Systems that Support the Mission.
Great vision needs great systems to sustain it. Using the Operations tool, we help you build and streamline the processes that keep your church healthy behind the scenes. From weekend services to discipleship pathways, volunteer onboarding to communication flow—clarity in operations creates consistency in execution. When your systems support your mission, your church can scale with excellence and impact.
Progress: Create Rhythms that Keep the Church Moving.
Vision without traction leads to frustration. In the Progress phase, we help you establish healthy rhythms of accountability, evaluation, and celebration that keep your church moving forward. With tools like 90-day goals, weekly pace meetings, and annual summits, your team will stay focused and aligned throughout the year. Progress isn’t accidental—it’s built through intentional steps, measured wins, and consistent follow-through.
