Stop guessing about your church’s direction. Get crystal clear on where God is leading you.

Two Ways Churches Try To Get Clear

The “DIY Retreat” Path

Two long days and a whiteboard

Vague words everyone agrees with

A paragraph no one can repeat

Priorities shift again next month

No 90-day plan, momentum fades

Same meetings, same outcomes

Retreats can help. Use a real process so clarity sticks.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the PIVVOT Process?
The PIVVOT Process is a comprehensive church visioning framework developed by RunFree.Co that helps churches move from being over-programmed and under-discipled to becoming hero-making, multiplication-focused ministries. It consists of six modules: Funnel Fusion (Move the Finish Line), Crowd Cloud (Become a Hero-Maker), Disciple’s Journey (Build a Training Center), Kingdom Platform (Empower Each One), Vision Frame (Design the Culture), and Horizon Storyline (Create the Future).
2. What is the Vision Frame and why is it important?
The Vision Frame is a strategic tool that answers the five fundamental questions of leadership through five components: Mission (What are we doing?), Values (Why are we doing it?), Strategy (How are we doing it?), Measures (When are we successful?), and Vision Proper (Where is God taking us?). It provides a complete blueprint for church culture and ensures all programming and activities are aligned with the church’s unique calling.

3. What does "becoming a hero-maker" mean?
Becoming a hero-maker means shifting from doing all the ministry yourself to transferring authority and equipping others to do the work of ministry. Instead of focusing solely on the gathered congregation, hero-makers see the “Crowd Cloud”—the network of relationships every believer has in their mission field where they live, work, learn, and play. The goal is to empower each person to be a disciple-maker in their own sphere of influence.
4. How long does the PIVVOT Process take?

The PIVVOT Process is typically conducted over multiple sessions, with each of the six modules requiring pre-work and facilitated time together. Teams are encouraged to take 30 days between sessions to refine and implement key discoveries. The entire process is designed to get teams “100% at 80%”—where everyone is sufficiently aligned to move forward—with ongoing refinement happening over time.

5. What is the "Functional Great Commission" problem that PIVVOT addresses?

The Functional Great Commission is the unintentional reality many churches have created: “Go into all the world and make more worship attenders, baptizing them in the name of small groups, and teaching them to volunteer a few hours a month.” This represents how North American churches have become over-programmed and under-discipled. The PIVVOT Process helps churches return to Jesus’ actual Great Commission—making reproducing disciples who make other disciples.
