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: How Growing Churches Master Sunday is the walkthrough, one designed decision at a time.
Until launch day
Out now · Start here
How much of your Sunday is designed?
Thirty-five questions about last Sunday. Six minutes. You get a report showing where you sit against the churches that grew, and the one switch to pull first.
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.
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.
The belief
Named plainly, before anything gets rebuilt.
The conversation
You sit in on what Sheldon says across the table from the pastor.
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
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. Sheldon has worked inside enough churches to see what we cannot see about ourselves, and he had the courage to write it down. Sunday By Design does not stop at the diagnosis. It hands you the repair.

“Sheldon is one of the leading voices on how to actually run a church, day in and day out. I call him the Executive Pastor to the American Church. Most churches pour everything into getting people in the door, then wing whatever happens after. That’s the gap. Sunday By Design closes it.”
Brady Sticker
Founder, ChurchCandy
“Weekly I’m able to draw from his wisdom and counsel as I lead thousands of worshippers into the presence of the Lord. Sunday By Design gives us language and tools for Holy Spirit to flow freely.”
Jonathan Nelson
Worship Artist
“Repetition builds your reputation. One great Sunday is not hard to put on. Doing it week after week, across multiple locations, is another story. Sunday By Design is about the mindset needed to maintain excellence in the midst of growth.”
Adrian Molina
Executive Pastor, VOUS Church
“I believe in the principles and systems Sheldon Andrus teaches because I have personally witnessed them work. I have seen the effectiveness of what he implements, not only from observation, but from being in an environment where the systems have produced real results.”
Tiffany Boone
Minister of Music, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church
“Sundays are when the gospel gathers a people, transforms their lives, and sends them into the world. Sheldon has done an incredible job writing a wise and practical guide to the intentionality and stewardship necessary to make that time together abundantly clear and even more fruitful.”
Armour David Stephenson III
Lead Pastor, AROMA Church
“Sheldon does an excellent job communicating exactly what every church needs no matter the size!”
Madelyn Ortiz
Executive Pastor, La Viña Church NYC
