Hi. I'm Dr. Gavin Adams, founder of the Church Accelerator Community.

My 10 years of marketplace consulting plus over 15 years of ministry leadership gives me a unique and uncommon understanding of church and organizational challenges.

I’d love to partner with you and your church to help you grow yourself, your church, and the Kingdom. 

The Ministry MBA: 10 Practical Courses to Lead a Thriving Church is a must-read for pastors, ministry leaders, and anyone who believes that healthy churches require both spiritual vitality and strong organizational leadership.

Drawing from decades of experience in ministry and the marketplace, this book equips leaders with essential skills in leadership, strategy, management, and more—all tailored to the unique needs of the church.

“Gavin has fast-tracked my leadership growth. His unique insights into strategy, vision, and organizational change have been invaluable. His coaching has given me clarity on multiple strategic decisions that ultimately improved our organization. In addition, his coaching of our team has helped develop our overall leadership culture. My relationship with Gavin has been well worth it..”

“As a coach, Gavin’s external perspective clarified our vision and helped us build a better model for our community. As a mentor, his ministry experience allows him to encourage our team while providing unique insight. RCC is better because of Gavin. And I am a better pastor, leader, and communicator because of our relationship.”

DON'T LEAVE WITH AN UNANSWERED QUESTION

The Church Accelerator Community is a network dedicated to helping churches and church leaders accelerate their mission, growth, and impact through personalized coaching, strategic resources, and a supportive community of like-minded individuals.

Church leaders, pastors, and church staff who are seeking to overcome growth barriers, enhance their leadership skills, and implement effective strategies for church development and community engagement.

Strategic Partnerships offer the highest level of engagement, including personal coaching and in-person visits, while Community Partnerships focus on virtual coaching and strategic support. Resource Partnerships provide access to a wide and growing range of digital resources and courses for self-paced growth and learning.

Once you become a partner, you will receive login details to access our online portal, where all the courses and resources are available.

The Sermon Bank is available to all partners and contains an ever growing number of individual messages and sermon series. 

Each message and series comes with a sermon outline, key description, small group questions, and digital assets where appropriate. 

There are no prerequisites; however, we recommend having a clear goal or vision for your church’s growth and development to maximize the benefits of our offerings.

We limit the number of Strategic Partners to 8 churches to ensure maximum personalized attention for these leaders.

Community Partners are limited to 10 churches. 

If you are interest in either of these partnerships or want to join our waitlist, please apply for partnership.

While we recommend a minimum commitment to see tangible results, we offer flexible partnership terms that can be monthly, quarterly, or annually, allowing you to choose what best fits your church’s needs.

You can upgrade your partnership level if space is available. 

Strategic and Community Partnerships can be changed or cancelled at the end of each quarter session. 

Resource Partners can cancel any time. 

Community sessions are monthly virtual meetings where members can share experiences, challenges, and successes. Each call allows for connection and a topically directed conversation. 

Our Strategic Partnership offers the most personalized support, including one-on-one in-person coaching sessions and tailored strategic planning. You can also request additional coaching or consulting services as needed.
