Sunday By Design — Sheldon J. Andrus III
Sunday By Design
A new book by Sheldon J. Andrus III

Don't attempt Sunday. Design it.

Growing churches are not doing seven brilliant things. They are doing the same seven small things, every week, until those small things become the standard.

Sunday By Design is the walkthrough: how growing churches master Sunday, one designed decision at a time.

Hardcover $32.99  /  Paperback $19.99  /  Ships September 15. The audit is free and takes six minutes.

01The Premise

The seven switches

01 Live in the clock Guests trust the time you published.
02 Lock your service format Your team rehearses instead of reinventing.
03 Script the first five minutes The room is settled before the first song ends.
04 Capture every guest You can name who came last Sunday.
05 Make one ask People leave knowing what to do next.
06 Follow up in 24 hours Second visits stop being accidents.
07 Count You see the trend before you feel it.
Pre-order the book All seven, chapter by chapter.

Mediocre Sundays don't compound. Designed Sundays do.

Structure is not at war with the Spirit. Order creates room for the miraculous.

02Inside the Book

The back-row notebook, turned into a walkthrough

Each chapter names the belief that is quietly capping your growth, then hands you everything it takes to replace it. Three moves, the same way every time.

01

The belief

Named plainly, before anything gets rebuilt.

02

The conversation

You sit in on what Sheldon says across the table from the pastor.

03

The audit, the scripts, the work session

Everything needed to flip one switch and hold it.

Start with one. Stay with it until it holds. Then flip the next. Install all seven, one at a time, and the result is not a better service. It is a church that finally grows on purpose.

03Praise for Sunday By Design

I help churches get new guests. Sheldon helps you keep them.

Most churches pour everything into getting people in the door, then wing whatever happens after. That’s the gap. Sunday by Design closes it. If Sunday is your front door, this is how you stop leaking people out the back.

“Sunday by Design captures what I appreciate most about Sheldon, his priority never shifts from building God’s church, and he makes that work easily applicable for the rest of us. If you are serious about the local church, this book belongs in your hands.”

Rev. Matthew K. Thompson Jr.

Pastor, Jubilee Christian Church

“Sunday by Design is for lead pastors and second-seat leaders ready to stop confusing ‘the way we’ve always done it’ with faithfulness. This book teaches us to intentionally shape and leverage Sundays to produce real, relevant, traceable depth and church growth.”

Tifiny Carol Brown

Executive Pastor, Metro City Church

“Systems bring our standards up to excellence and excellence doesn’t restrict the move of God; it removes the unnecessary obstacles that keep people from experiencing it. If you’re praying for God to breathe on your church, this book will help you make sure the room is ready when He does.”

Will Wilson Jr.

Lead Pastor, House of Light Church

“Every pastor who feels like they’re carrying Sunday by themselves needs this book. I’ve seen it firsthand: order really does create room for the miraculous.”

Mo Huggins

Lead Pastor, Mountain West Church

“Sunday By Design is truly a master class in building great Sunday experiences and creating intentional follow-up that closes the wide-open back door. This book is an absolute game changer for any leader serious about stewarding their gifts and the people God has placed in their hands.”

Pastor Josiah Malinich

Lead Pastor, Total City Church

“This hits hardest for pastors who inherited an order of service no one has questioned in years. Sheldon shows you how to establish it, and how to stand firm when the pushback comes. That’s the part most books miss.”

John Folasakin

Lead Pastor, Rig Church DFW

“Sheldon Andrus is a master at helping church leaders and their teams become operationally excellent. He doesn’t simply offer ideas—he helps leaders turn vision into execution.”

Chestly Lunday

Executive Pastor, Cornerstone Church

04The Author

Sheldon J. Andrus III

A dedicated second-seat leader. As an executive pastor, he has engineered the systems behind some of the country's fastest-growing churches. He's led in churches from 60 to more than 15,000 in weekend attendance.

Before ministry, he spent fifteen years shaping national and global brands in higher education and ad agencies. In 2017, a life-altering accident took his left hand. Relearning everything, one redesigned task at a time, made him a different kind of problem solver: he has yet to meet a system that cannot be rebuilt.

He now consults with churches across the country, equipping pastors and leadership teams with strategies, structures, and systems to steward growth.

He shares his life with his wife, Bethany, and their giant schnauzer, Bruno.
