Stop struggling and start seeing healthy growth.

Double Your Church offers an effective strategy to help your church double or even triple in attendance within 3-5 years, focusing on three key areas: (1) Organization and Management, (2) Outreach and Evangelism, and (3) New Convert Care and Assimilation. These areas are crucial for growth, regardless of the growth plan you follow, and Double Your Church can be easily customized to fit any church size.

The DYC plan typically takes about six months to fully implement, with most churches doubling in attendance within three years or less. If Bro. Massengale is involved, the process may progress more quickly, as he can tailor his assistance to your needs and budget. The initial consultation, lasting about 3-4 hours, involves evaluating your starting point and growth goals. Once the plan is in place, the pastor will dedicate approximately two hours per month to maintaining the growth strategy.

Double Your Church focuses on three key areas:

Organization and Management: Jesus’ first act in ministry was selecting twelve Apostles to form the foundation of the church. Similarly, pastors must organize and delegate to grow. Bro. Massengale helps pastors select 8-12 department leaders, each with customized job descriptions, and emphasizes that organization must be managed. He advocates a four-step management process: an annual planning retreat, a departmental one-year plan, a monthly planning council, and a weekly tag-in. Pastors should devote about two hours a month to managing their leadership team.

Outreach and Evangelism: Sowing the Gospel is essential for growth, following the Law of the Harvest (2 Cor. 9:6): abundant sowing leads to abundant reaping. Bro. Massengale encourages four methods of evangelism: personal witnessing, bringing people to church, teaching home Bible studies, and child evangelism, all of which should be emphasized and promoted within the church’s organizational structure.

New Convert Care and Assimilation: 200 years ago 30% of children died before the age of five. Today, the survival rate in the USA is over 99%. Why? Because we have learned to care for children better. Bro. Massengale urges churches to create a New Convert Care department, focusing on instruction, fellowship, and involvement, as no convert can thrive alone. With effective care, many churches see their new convert retention rate increase from 20% to over. 60%.

Most churches can double or even triple in attendance and membership within 3-5 years. The Double Your Church plan takes about six months to fully implement, with Bro. Massengale assisting you in developing a five-year growth plan and providing ongoing support until your church at least doubles.

He will maintain monthly contact and is available by phone at any time. Personal, ongoing church growth mentoring is key to the process, and if a church doesn’t meet quarterly or annual benchmarks, the plan will be evaluated with corrective actions recommended. In over 40 years of church growth work, Bro. Massengale has never seen a church fail to double in five years when the plan is fully implemented.

Bro. Massengale strongly recommends ongoing collaboration to ensure your church doubles in attendance and membership, significantly increasing your chance of success. Each month, a trained church growth coach will contact you to review progress, ask key questions, and assist in fully implementing the DYC plan while helping you achieve growth benchmarks.

If any issues require Bro. Massengale’s direct involvement, he will reach out personally. This mentoring program ensures you receive consistent support and guidance throughout the process. The recommended cost for this program is $50 per month, payable monthly, quarterly, or annually, though any amount your church can afford will be accepted as a love offering to support the ministry.

Any church, regardless of size—from fewer than 10 members to over 1,000—can benefit from the Double Your Church approach to growth. Success requires developing a ministry team, sowing abundant Gospel seed, and retaining converts. While smaller churches typically double faster than larger ones, all have the potential to grow. As attendance increases, the resulting tithes and offerings from new members will more than cover the cost of the DYC plan.

Every plan or program has room for improvement. By allowing Bro. Massengale to evaluate your current efforts, he can recommend enhancements to significantly strengthen your ministry. This approach, commonly used in the business world and by thriving churches, ensures continuous growth. After his evaluation, he will meet with you and your leadership team to suggest ways to refine and elevate your existing plan.

After your church doubles in attendance and membership, Bro. Massengale will recommend meeting again to develop an expanded plan for continued growth. Beyond the three core areas, he will introduce additional strategies to further strengthen your ministry. His commitment is to help your church achieve repeated growth and ongoing success.
