Grow your church without burning out your staff, your family, or yourself.
A year-long coaching experience for lead pastors ready to break through their growth plateau, build a team that thrives, and finally have a clear plan for every season.
Imagine being able to…
Take a full week off — no ministry texts, no Sunday stress — and come back to find your team ran two baptisms and a full service without you.
Walk into every month knowing exactly what the next 90 days of your church calendar look like — no more scrambling before big Sundays.
See first-time guests every single week and know, without a doubt, that your follow-up system is already working to bring them back.
Call a staff meeting where every person in the room is already aligned on the vision — no confusion, no silos, no re-explaining the same thing again.
Watch your church grow healthier and bigger at the same time, without burning out your family, your team, or yourself.
Picture a church that grows while you lead — not because you're doing more, but because the right systems are finally in place.

Executive Presbyter, Under 40 Ministers
My name is Mike.
I'm the Founding Pastor of Focus Church — what started in 2012 with just seven people in our living room has grown into a multi-campus church reaching thousands every week. My wife Ashton and I built this from nothing, and it's been the greatest adventure of our lives.
I founded Break200.com to give pastors and ministry leaders the practical tools they actually need to break growth barriers and build healthy churches. I serve as Executive Presbyter for the Under 40 Ministers — mentoring and advocating for the next generation of leaders is something I'm deeply passionate about.
“The local church is the hope of the world, and I want to help leaders build it well.”
What you're getting
Real strategy, built for your church — and Pastor Mike in the room with you every step of the way.
What pastors are saying
“What is happening? I have gotten so much value from the two Mastermind calls that I have been on so far. Thank you Pastor Mike, for all you do!”
Devon F.Executive Pastor, Connect Church“Since April, we've seen 211 decisions for Jesus, 56 baptisms and 160% growth. All glory to God! Thank you for investing in us!”
Josh P.Lead Pastor, Eastgate Church“I am grateful for the time Mike invested in us and would highly recommend him to any church or leadership team looking for practical coaching, healthy outside perspective, and someone who will truly engage with your team rather than simply evaluate it.”
Adam B.Lead Pastor, Restore ChurchStill skeptical? Good.
If you join the Church Growth Mastermind and it's not the right fit within the first 60 days, we part as friends — full refund, no awkward conversation, no hard feelings. We only want pastors who are all in, and you should only invest in something that's actually right for your church.
Our bigger promise: in 4 months, your church will begin to experience breakthrough — healthier staff culture, stronger Sundays, and a clear system for turning first-time guests into committed members.

FAQs
The Church Growth Mastermind is for lead pastors who are already leading an established church, are ready to grow (not just maintain), are coachable and willing to take direction, and can commit to 4 months of real work. If you’re brand new to ministry and haven’t led a church yet, this isn’t the right fit for you.
Most pastors who come to us have been to the conferences, read the books, hired staff — and still hit the same ceiling. That’s not a coaching problem, that’s a systems problem. The Mastermind is built around diagnosing what’s actually holding your church back and installing the right plan for your context. Not a copy-paste template.
You’ll have 2 live group coaching calls per month, plus your own 1:1 strategy work between calls. We build a plan that fits your life — the goal is a church that grows and a leader who doesn’t burn out.
$997 a month — and here’s what that gets you: a 360° Church Health Assessment, a custom growth plan built for your church, Calendar Camp to map out your entire ministry year, two live coaching calls every month, and same-day support between calls. The Mastermind pays for itself quickly. And with our 60-day guarantee, there’s no risk in getting started.
Yes. There’s a 60-day protection window — if it’s not the right fit, you get a full refund and we part as friends. Beyond that, if you do the work and don’t see results in 4 months, we figure out how best to get momentum for you.
The Mastermind is intentionally small. Pastor Mike only takes on pastors he knows he can help, and every pastor is accepted based on fit.
Pastor Mike’s assistant, Lauren, will reach out to schedule your 1:1 call. On the call, you and Pastor Mike will talk through where your church is today, where you want it to go, and whether the Mastermind is the right next step.
