THE PRE-LAUNCH PROCESS THAT WORKS
18 churches launched, here's who filled the room.
On one Sunday — September 13, 2026 — eighteen churches opened their doors for the first time and reported what happened. Some ran their full pre-launch process with Hello Church. Some used us for part of it. Some didn't use us at all. Same weekend, same network, three very different launch days.
