The Functional Great Commission (And Why It Misses)
“The functional great commission has become, ‘Go into all the world and make more worship attenders, baptizing them in the name of small groups and teaching them to volunteer several hours a month.’ Because churches are over-programmed and under-discipled, Pivvot Vision Framing will redirect your team’s focus and ministry design toward greater disciple-making growth.”
This is why we start with Vision Framing and design for disciple-making, not program-collecting.
Proven Results
Real stories from churches we've helped transform
Large, active church with strong ministry momentum but no single shared language for mission, values, measures, strategy, and vision.
Led a Vision Clarity process to build a common vocabulary (Vision Frame) that leaders could teach, model, and use in real decisions across ministries.
One shared vocabulary established, unified decision filters, and a clearer ministry focus.
Steve Gaines, Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis TX
Post Covid realities required redoing the Vision Frame and rethinking the disciple making strategy for a new season.
Facilitated the Pivvot Process to refresh the Vision Frame and clarify a disciple making strategy that fits CBC's current context.
Attendance is growing, and disciple making effectiveness has never been greater.
