Coaching Partnership · Add-On

When a church stalls, the system
is rarely the reason.
Execution without a partner is harder than it looks.

The Coaching Partnership puts an Activation Partner beside your team, reading your numbers with you, naming what needs attention, and keeping the next two weeks clear after every call. Your team does the work. Your Activation Partner helps you see what matters and keeps it moving.

An add-on to Martha Complete, and to Andrew, Saul or Solomon once your church has run Martha.
Never sold on its own.

An honest word
before you read further.

You may not need this. The Martha Project, Andrew, and Saul are each built for your team to run. The frameworks are clear, the pathways are defined, and the portal tracks everything. You don't need a coaching partnership to make them work.

Churches that keep moving usually have someone reading the numbers beside them, every two weeks. Someone who names a stall before it becomes a three-month drift, and makes the next two weeks specific. That is the partnership: an Activation Partner who keeps the work moving.

Coaching means an Activation Partner walks beside your team: reading your numbers with you and helping you decide what comes next. It is not training, and your Activation Partner does not do the work for you. With Activation Support, an Activation Specialist from our team supports your activation season.

Three Components

What the partnership includes.

Three components. One consistent rhythm. The same standard regardless of which product your church is running.

1
Bi-Weekly Coaching Calls
50 min · every two weeks

Your Activation Partner leads. Every call follows the same structure and ends with a specific, named two-week priority list your point person owns.

Activation rate or momentum check: what actually moved since the last call
Team or project status: which tracks are running, which are stalling
Leadership pipeline or outreach update: where are people in the pathway
Obstacles named and worked through on the call
Next two-week priorities confirmed: specific actions, specific owner, no ambiguity
Those priorities live inside your portal too, where your whole team sees the same list
If a call is missed: a written summary goes out that day and the cadence resets. Never skipped.
2
Portal & Project Monitoring
Weekly minimum · between calls

Your Activation Partner reviews your church's data every week, between calls. What's moving. What's stalling. What signals are appearing that need attention before they become problems.

Activation rate movement tracked every week
Stage progression monitored for the full pathway: no one stalls without someone noticing
Team health reviewed: what's running, what's fragile, what needs reinforcement
What your Activation Partner notices between calls, they name with you on the next call
3
Questions Between Calls
In-portal Q&A · between calls

For quick strategic questions, course corrections, and decisions that can't wait for the next scheduled call. You ask from any page in the portal; your Activation Partner answers there, and the answer lands in your inbox too.

Standard response: 2 business days. If it can't wait, mark it urgent in your question.
Every answer comes to your portal and by email. If an issue continues, we reopen it, so you never ask twice.
Scope: 2 to 3 exchanges per week outside scheduled calls: strategic guidance, not task management
What it's for: course corrections, unblocking decisions, reading a signal correctly before acting on it
What it's not: campaign design, staff coordination, or document production
One Partnership. Every Project.

It runs alongside whatever you're in.

The partnership is church-level. It starts with Martha Complete and stays with you when a church that has run Martha adds Andrew, Saul or Solomon. Same structure. Same standard. The content of the coaching shifts to match where you are.

Pairs with
Martha Complete
Your activation season

You've opened your teams and named your leaders. The partnership keeps it moving, monitors the activation data, and surfaces what's next before it becomes a problem. The pipeline is built for your team to run, and the partnership is what gets it there.

Pairs with
The Andrew Project
Invitation Activation

You've surfaced who's ready to invite. The partnership provides the accountability rhythm that turns readiness into action: consistent follow-up, barrier tracking, and the coaching that keeps invitation culture from fading back into silence.

Pairs with
The Saul Project
Formation & Renewal

You've identified the formation gaps. The partnership holds the pastoral health cadence and keeps the work from slipping back into the noise. Formation work is slow. The partnership is what makes it consistent.

Pairs with
The Solomon Project
Stewardship

You've invited your key leaders into a private stewardship read. The partnership keeps the follow-through moving: the conversations scheduled, the pathways honored, and each leader's next step actually taken toward the vision.

The Term

Three months. Intentionally structured.

Each month has a different center of gravity, and calls fall in Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11. The months are a general guide. Some churches take longer; your steps set the pace. The engagement is designed to end with a church that doesn't need us, not one that does.

Month 1: Weeks 1-4
Align Assign leaders.

The heaviest month, with the highest touch. Calls fall in Weeks 1 and 3, starting the week of your Bridge Meeting. Your Activation Partner is inside the data early and often: surfacing what your Scorecard or project data revealed, helping you pick your teams and name a leader for each, and getting each leader their people before inertia sets in.

Highest involvement
Month 2: Weeks 5-8
Activate Have conversations.

The church is in motion, and the work is conversations. Calls fall in Weeks 5 and 7, with monitoring between them. Your Activation Partner helps you keep the next-move talks moving, rest first, as people land on teams. What's stalling gets named. What's working gets reinforced. At Week 8, your Activation Partner reads the Mid-Point Report, then walks it with you on the Week 9 call: what's moving, what isn't, and the focus for the last four weeks.

Mid-Point Report, read Week 8, walked Week 9
Month 3: Weeks 9-12
Multiply Build more leaders.

Moves toward independence. Calls fall in Weeks 9 and 11, and your leaders start raising the next leaders. Is the season running without weekly direction? Can your point person hold the pipeline without prompting? At Week 11, your Activation Partner walks you through the Season Handoff on the coaching call. The final call is a deliberate renewal conversation, not a pitch, a real assessment of what the next quarter actually needs.

Season Handoff, Week 11

At the end of Month 3: a deliberate renewal conversation.

Continue for another term, reduce to a monthly check-in, or conclude. All three are valid. The goal of every coaching partnership is a church that runs its own season, not one that depends on ours. If the church is there, we say so.

Scope Boundaries

What the partnership
does not include.

Being clear about scope protects both sides. If a need falls outside this list, it doesn't disappear. It becomes a separate custom engagement conversation.

On-site visits or in-person presence
Custom SOP or document creation
Training your staff or volunteers
Outreach support on your church's behalf (that is Activation Support)
Campaign design or sermon series development
HR or personnel management support
Financial advising or budget guidance
Social media or communications management

Needs outside this scope are handled through a separate custom engagement. Ask us what that looks like.

The Investment

Simple pricing.
With your team in mind.

One rate for every church, at every stage, so the conversation stays about your people and never about the price. The engagement is the same standard everywhere: the same cadence, the same attention, the same partner beside your team.
