At Garden Ministries, we help churches implement ministry processes that are both effective and faithful to their calling. 

Using lean six sigma methodologies, Garden Ministries assesses, refines, and optimizes church operations through the following phases: 

  • Internal Process Audit

    We take a close look at how your ministry functions day to day—reviewing operations, communication channels, and engagement. We also examine decision-making flow to uncover any bottlenecks or inefficiencies that may be holding your ministry back.

    Phase One

  • Quality Management Review

    We assess ministry operational effectiveness and vision alignment by measuring your ministry’s impact, outreach, engagement, and retention, and evaluating how well everything is moving in the same direction.

    Phase Two

  • Barrier Identification

    We offer practical suggestions to help streamline your operations—cutting out waste (Muda), creating more consistency in ministry efforts (Mura), and easing burnout by balancing responsibilities (Muri).

    Phase Three

  • Improvement Plan

    We focus on both short-term wins and long-term impact. We work with you and your team to create a clear implementation roadmap—training leaders, setting meaningful metrics, and building accountability structures to support healthy, sustainable alignment.

    Phase Four
