A healthier church starts with a clearer plan.
The Healthy Churches Toolkit puts your learning, communication, preaching, strategy, and leadership development in one place, so you can stop juggling tools and start leading with focus.
Free to start. No credit card required.
Try a full Church Ministry Analysis, normally $99, for just $9.99. A certified consultant helps you survey your church and delivers a custom report on where you're healthy and where to grow.
Get the $9.99 analysisMinistry shouldn't run on a dozen disconnected tools.
A course over here, a graphics app over there, a planning doc nobody opens. Most pastors are piecing their leadership together across tools that were never built to talk to each other. The Toolkit brings the essentials into one place and connects them to a proven process for church health, so the work you do this week actually builds toward where you're headed.

The best way to build and manage your church's team.
Healthy churches are built on healthy leaders at every level. The Toolkit's Leadership Pipeline is grounded in The Malphurs Group's proven model for developing people from their first volunteer role all the way to senior ministry leadership. It is not a staff directory or a meeting app. It is the structure that grows your leaders.
- Map every role, from first-time volunteer to senior leader
- Place people where they thrive with the Divine Design tool
- Define the competencies each role needs and develop toward them
- Run focused meetings with shared agendas and action items
- Keep leadership roles in sync with Planning Center

Built for church vision, not borrowed from the business world.
Most churches end up bending a corporate project tool to fit ministry, and it never quite fits. The Toolkit's Strategic Envisioning is built around the way churches actually plan: your mission, core values, discipleship pathway, vision, and strategy, with the projects, tasks, and indicators to bring it all to life.
- Set your mission, values, discipleship pathway, and vision in one place
- Turn vision into strategy projects, tasks, and clear owners
- Track vision indicators that show real, measurable progress
- Review ministry analysis and share clear reports with your team
- Start from a church framework instead of a blank board
