The Strategy
What is a Community Discovery Playbook?
A Community Discovery Playbook (CDP) is a 15–20 page strategic brief that connects three critical inputs for your church: the story of your congregation, the data of your neighborhood, and high‑leverage ministry options.
It is not a generic report or a one‑size‑fits‑all program. It is a contextual, pastoral tool designed to help leaders move from intuition and scattered requests to a single, evidence‑backed next step you can take before God in prayer.

Spiritual Posture
Rooted in prayer and discernment
A Community Discovery Playbook is not meant to replace prayer, fasting, or spiritual discernment. It is meant to serve them.
"Our aim is to put something in your leaders’ hands that they can lay on the table, open the Scriptures alongside, and ask together: ‘What seems good to the Holy Spirit and to us in this season?’"
The data and 90‑day options give your leaders language and focus so you can listen to God together with greater clarity. Each recommended play is offered as a prayerful possibility, not a fixed prescription.
Strategic Utility
Why churches use a CDP
Before you launch new community work, get the clarity required to lead with confidence.
Clarifies the moment
Names what is really happening in your neighborhood and in your congregation’s current season, instead of guessing based on anecdotes.
Aligns diverse leaders
Gives pastors, trustees, outreach teams, and finance leaders a shared set of facts they can bring into prayer, retreat, and discernment conversations.
Surfaces a short list of options
Presents three concrete 90‑day plays that fit your context, rather than dozens of abstract ideas that never move beyond discussion.
Prepares you for funding
Captures baseline data and sample budgets that make grant conversations easier and congregational reporting more concrete.
Who it serves
Built for leaders at every level.
