Plan                 

For years the small church has been taught to worship and believe that God will deliver and bless them. One of the primary messages taught is the power of giving an offering and paying tithes. I believe in the theology of worship, trusting God, giving an offering, and paying tithes; however, we also understand and believe in the theology of stewardship, the power of operating with a plan and a margin to fund the church’s mission. 

Many mega-churches to medium size churches operate through programs that generate revenue from government and/or corporate grants, obtain money through sponsorships for events, and operate a for-profit entity with the profits from the entity going back to the church tax-free!  

Smart Church Advantage aims to empower the small church to include the theology of stewardship in its strategic planning. This will free the small church from unfaithful individuals declaring their anointing to be the source of its economic empowerment.  

                 Build               

We believe building occurs in sequences. If the church builds a model to enhance its economic viability, the families and the disadvantaged will reap the benefits. The church’s successful mission is someone else deliverance.

One of the models Smart Church Advantage promotes is the Master Plan Model. This model includes three additional entities to complete the church's comprehensive management structure. We refer to this as the small church trifecta. George Barna, the founder of the Barna Research Group, a market research firm specializing in studying Americans' religious beliefs and behavior, states, "it is time for the church to adopt a whole new paradigm for understanding itself, a model borrowed from the contemporary business world. 

The church's pastors will be judged not by their teaching and counseling but by their ability to run the church smoothly and efficiently as a business. And like any secular business, the church must show a profit, which is to say it must achieve success in penetrating and servicing its market." 

                   Run                

For the church to be efficient and effective, it must employ the services of an experienced management team. One of the first things Jesus did before starting His assignment was to pick 12 experience business people to manage the organization and fulfill His succession plan. These disciples understood this principle and employed this same strategy when the early church began to complain about the church business. The disciples knew the solution to the problem was to find qualified business people to run the organization. Church management is a strategy, not a miracle. 

   Boot Camp   

We choose to use the word boot camp because it provides an in-depth and immersive learning experience that can take several weeks or months to complete. Our intense training in Kingdom economics requires hours, days, and even years of exploring the proper use of money as God intended. God promotes wealth the world promotes money, which is the home of the spirit of mammon. When wealth is converted into money, it comes under the influence of mammon. For this reason, we refer to our training as a boot camp because the process begins with a new paradigm, which demands time.
