Church Roadmap


Moving churches from surviving to thriving!

A Roadmap for American Churches and People of Faith: W.W.J.D (What Would Jesus Do?) is a FREE practical guidebook to strengthen the life, witness, and sustainability of your Church in a rapidly changing world.

Grounded in Christian theology and informed by extensive empirical research and over thirty years of work with over 1,000 parishes, the Church Roadmap book addresses the most significant root cause challenges facing churches today.

Rather than promising unsustainable “quick fixes,” the Church Roadmap book provides proven and coherent solutions for renewal built on servant leadership, vision and planning, faithful stewardship and engagement, intentional spiritual formation, and a renewed commitment to Christian unity.

The Church Roadmap book and supportive podcasts featured on this website are designed for clergy and lay leaders alike. These resources bridge vision and practice, and help parishes move from good intentions to greater health, shared purpose, and lasting impact.

Each section of the Church Roadmap book is designed to stand on its own while also fitting into a larger, integrated whole to help you bring people closer to Christ and each other.

This website and the accompanying Church Roadmap video podcast series are designed to bring the content to life. Here you can explore each major pillar of the Church Roadmap book in each of the tabbed sections, listen to in-depth video podcasts that unpack the chapters, and access detailed resources to support leaders and parishes in real time.

Tune in to each episode of the Church Roadmap Podcast (and watch prior episodes) here: YOUTUBE or FACEBOOK.
