Normal-sized churches are only 90 minutes away from a church growth breakthrough
Churches 50 to 250 can overcome growth barriers. Stop guessing what to do – get a tailored plan you can implement this week!
You love your church, but growth has plateaued
If you’re like most pastors of normal sized churches, you’re working hard and trying everything to regain momentum, but churches of 50–250 face unique challenges that require more than borrowed tactics.
Preaching the gospel
…but attendance is flat
Trying new ministries, outreaches, and ads
…but nothing moves the needle
Leading an incredible team
…but they’re doing it all alone
Attracting new guests
…only to never come back
You deserve to stop chasing symptoms and start pursuing purpose again.
Break through your growth barriers
Based on the principles of our Ministry Reset Process™, the Breakthrough Assessment is a unique one-on-one consultation designed to identify your church’s top growth barriers and give you a practical action plan you can implement this week.
If you’re sick of throwing spaghetti at the wall, wasting time and invaluable ministry resources in the process, then the Breakthrough Assessment is for you.
Here’s what we’ve found after helping hundreds of small and normal sized churches: as a pastor of small or midsize church you don’t need more tactics or copied strategies – you need everything moving in the same direction.
That’s what the Breakthrough Assessment helps you achieve – we’ve seen it work in churches just like yours time and time again.
In 90 minutes, get the clarity you need to make real progress.

what pastors are saying
Listen to what Pastor Doug has to say
“The clarity and alignment your expertise brought to our church community are genius. Your coaching and insights have not only resonated with our congregation but have also confirmed that we’re on the right path. Your heart and experience are invaluable to us.”
Pastor Doug Bartsch, HISplace Family Church
Last year we found ourselves struggling to connect with our community, so we reached out to Firm Foundations to identify our ideal audiences and develop a strategy for reaching them. Our work with Firm Foundations led us to the realization that our church’s name and branding was a stumbling block…The launch with the new name was big. Most first-time guests we’ve had on a single day in years.
We’re getting such a strong response to so many things. I haven’t heard “We didn’t know about that!” in a long time. It’s been fantastic! I’ve loved working with you guys!
Your expertise and how you guided us have been outstanding! I definitely wouldn’t have St. Luke where it is today without you.
I knew there is no way I could have accomplished all this myself or in this time period, let alone I would have made a ton of mistakes along the way.
We moved to two services…finalized the purchase of our property. We are currently averaging 160 on Sundays (up from 120 last fall)… All thanks to our website, of course! Current membership is 145 with ~220 regular attenders (counting kids),
The clarity and alignment your expertise brought to our church community are genius. Your coaching and insights have not only resonated with our congregation but have also confirmed that we’re on the right path. Your heart and experience are invaluable to us.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different than other solutions?
Most church growth resources are one-size-fits-all, and often designed for megachurches. The Breakthrough Assessment is tailored specifically to small and normal sized churches because your context matters. You’ll leave with a customized action plan, not generic advice
What if I don't like the plan I receive?
We don’t want you to feel stuck. We offer a 7-day satisfaction guarantee – if you review the plan and don’t feel like it can help you, we will either guide you to another solution or give you a full refund. Just let us know within a week of receiving it.
Do I need to prepare anything before the call?
We’ll send you a pre-assessment to complete prior to the call – it shouldn’t take you more than 15 minutes to complete. Then, just come ready to talk honestly about where your church is today. We’ll guide you through the right questions and gather the information we need. If you want to share attendance data, budget info, or past strategies, that’s helpful, but not required.
Who should be on the call?
Ideally, the pastor plus one or two key leaders. You don’t need your entire board or staff – just the people who will help identify barriers and own next steps.
How soon will I see change after the assessment?
It depends on how quickly you implement the plan. Many churches begin making immediate shifts in focus, messaging, or outreach the very next week. The assessment is designed so you leave with practical steps you can put into action right away.
