- GROWTH. We expect growth to take place. On a quarterly basis, we will report on the growth of the churches we are coaching.
- FINANCES. We expect offerings to increase to between $10 and $15 per attendee. (These are national averages for all new churches and even traditional churches. Example: If there are 200 in attendance, counting children, the offering should be between $2,000 and $3,000. Anything below these amounts puts a church in danger.
- PREACHING. We will evaluate preaching and take it to the next level. This includes listening to at least one message per month from each pastor we coach.
- LEADERSHIP. We will expect leadership development of the paid and unpaid staff.
- WORSHIP. We will expect an excellent worship experience and children’s ministry.
- GOAL-SETTING. We will work with the planter to set measurable goals for their church, so that we can assess and measure all progress.
- SELF-SUPPORTIVE. We will work to see that each church is viable and self-supportive at the end of their 3 years of support with CMA, with openness to the 4th year if growth is taking place in all areas.
- WEEKLY CONTACT. Each coach will stay in touch weekly with their pastors. This includes weekly Conference Calls. It is expected that all planting pastors participate in these calls, for training and encouragement.
- MARRIAGE/FAMILY LIFE. Each planter will also report to their coaches about their personal well-being, their marriage, and their health.
- QUARTERLY REPORTS. We will fill out quarterly reports concerning all of the above expectations. We will work together to measure the growth of each church in all of the above areas.
