The Acts Blueprint
The unbelievers accused the early church of turning the world upside down (Acts 17:6). It was already upside down because of sin. This is the working blueprint behind how they turned it right side up, and how your church can build the same way.
Free. About 15 minutes. Your personalized 90-day plan is built instantly.
"These who have turned the world upside down have come here too."
Acts 17:6 NKJV
This is not a theology paper. It is a working blueprint, built to be marked up, argued with, and put into action by any pastor, church planter, or ministry leader who wants a biblical model instead of another borrowed program.
How it works
Read the Ten Marks
Jerusalem to Rome, the whole book of Acts pulled into ten marks, each with the Scripture, the pattern, and the structure you can build today.
Read the marksScore your church
Honest, observable indicators for every mark help you score the church as it actually functions, not as the vision statement describes it.

Your weakest marks come first, with 30, 60, and 90-day actions, owners, and dates. Print it or save it as a PDF for your next staff meeting.
See My PlanBring your team
Every leader scores on their own. You see the averages and the gaps. When the pastor says 4 and the team says 2, that is the conversation that changes a church.

The Ten Marks of an Acts Church
Ten marks run through the whole book, from the upper room in Jerusalem to Paul's rented house in Rome. They are not ten programs to bolt onto an existing church. They are ten interlocking systems that together produce a church with apostolic DNA. Pull one out and the others weaken. Build all ten and you have something the world cannot explain away.

Score your church against all ten marks, honestly. Check the indicators that are true today, then choose the score that fits. When every mark is scored, Build My Plan creates your prioritized 90-day plan, starting with your weakest marks.
