Who the room is for

Your church gets examined by name, not addressed from a stage.

Built for pastors, associate pastors, executive pastors, and the leadership teams who run Sunday with them. Most growing churches are one system away. Sunday still runs on the pastor's memory and personality instead of on structure, and that gap is where growth stalls. The Lab is a working day: we find the systems that create growth, and you install them in the room.

Who leads it

Sheldon J. Andrus III

What leaders say about the work

“I looked at our dashboard. We’re up 28% in attendance and 31% in giving, and new guests are 5% of every week. Today we received a $400,000 grant. We didn’t have the money. You just have to have vision.”

Rev. Kaloma Smith

Pastor, University A.M.E. Zion Church

“Sheldon is a master at helping church leaders and their teams become operationally excellent. He has a remarkable ability to walk into a complex organization, quickly identify what is keeping it from functioning at its best, and help leaders build the clarity, systems, and alignment necessary to move forward.”

Chestly Lunday

Executive Pastor, Cornerstone Church

“Sheldon walked with our church in a way that was honest without being harsh, gracious without lowering the standard, and his wisdom helped move us forward more than I can say. I’ve seen it firsthand: order really does create room for the miraculous.”

Mo Huggins

Lead Pastor, Mountain West Church

“The fish are not the problem. The nets are. We keep praying for a harvest while running a system that cannot hold the one already in the building. Sunday By Design does not stop at the diagnosis. It hands you the repair.”

Dr. Joel Tudman

Teaching Pastor, Believers City Church
