A launched play, named partners,
and a story to tell by day 90.
A Playmaker walks with your church from the first partner conversation to the finished play, so good intentions stop stalling in the middle.
$4,500 per season. Platform included. We run three plays at a time.
Why plays stall
Most churches do not lack heart. They lack a finish line.
Three places good work usually dies, and what a Playmaker does about each.
The meeting ends with no owner
Everyone agrees something should happen. Nobody is named, nothing has a date.
Your Playmaker gets an owner, a next step, and a date on every piece before the session ends.
The first partner call never happens
The right organization is down the street, but nobody knows what to say first.
Your Playmaker drafts the outreach with you, makes the warm introduction, and stays with you until the partnership has a name on it.
The story never gets told
The work happens, then it fades, and the next ask starts from zero.
Your Playmaker helps you capture it along the way and shape it for your congregation, your neighbors, and your funders.
How a season runs
Ninety days, three phases, one finished play.
One working session opens each phase. Your Playmaker is a text or message away in between.

The Finished Play Guarantee
If your play has not launched by day 90 and you did your part, your Playmaker keeps working with you at no charge until it has.
Is your church ready?
A season works best when three things are true.
We run three plays at a time, so we would rather say not yet than start one that cannot finish.
1
You can name one owner.
One person who will carry the play day to day, with your pastor's blessing.
2
You can protect three sessions.
Three 45-minute working sessions across 90 days, with your owner in the room.
3
You have a modest budget for the play itself.
The season fee is separate from the play. Plays in our library start at a few hundred dollars a year, and each playbook shows its budget by tier.
Still deciding which play is yours?
Start with Your Neighborhood Plan for $495. It is credited in full toward a season if you start one within 90 days.

In their words
From “where do I start?” to a play they could see.
“I don't know how many times I've said, even being here, where do I start? This gives me that clarity.”
Dr. Thomas
The Way Community, Roosevelt, NY
“It was challenging and it made me reevaluate how I see my community that I don't know yet.”
Pastor Eric Richards
Real Life Church SFL
“It was eye opening and revealed so much we didn't know as a church.”
Pastor Robert Spry
Faith and Life Fellowship Ministries
Questions pastors ask
Who are the Playmakers?+
Playmakers are trained coaches matched to your project type, such as health, education, or workforce. We pair you on your first call.
Does the season fee cover the cost of the play?+
No. The season fee covers your Playmaker, the platform, and the tools. The play itself has its own budget, which your Neighborhood Plan or playbook will show you before you start.
What if we are not ready yet?+
Then we will say so. Start with the free playbooks or Your Neighborhood Plan ($495, credited toward a season), and come back when you have an owner and a clear first play.
What happens after day 90?+
You keep what you built. Many churches continue on the Platform ($349 a month) to keep partnerships and projects moving, or start their next season.
What does the guarantee cover?+
It covers the launch. If your play has not launched by day 90 and you did your part, your Playmaker keeps working with you at no charge until it has. We cannot promise how your neighbors will respond, only that the play will get launched.
