An excerpt about the power of your beliefs from my new book "How to Double Your Church in 90 Days":

"This begs the question, “What do you believe?!” Unless we
preprogram positive beliefs, and a bunch of them, into our minds
through what we hear taught, preached or shared from sources we
trust, even if we run into a sea of opportunities, we won’t believe
that we can accomplish them! Our conscious minds will never even
realize we are surrounded by a sea of opportunities! It’s the very
definition of “starving in a house of bread.” You will never have
“eyes to see” until you pre-program a “heart/mind to believe” and
brain science absolutely confirms this. We thought it was just
scripture, but it’s actually biological."

Who is Paul Anthony Hardin?

Paul Anthony Hardin is a born communicator and passionate connector of people, a calling he embraced from his early years as the fifth child of pastors in Southeast Texas. Even as a child, Paul's parents, the late Apostle Prince and Dr. Mary Fontenot Hardin, recognized a divine purpose in his life—confirmed by a prophetic word that he would preach by the age of seven. True to this prophecy, Paul's preaching journey began early and took him coast-to-coast and to various continents, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Paul’s leadership journey started in the public schools of Orange, Texas, where he developed a reputation as a servant-leader. He led initiatives that ranged from protests advocating for education reform to being elected Speaker of the House at the Texas Boys’ State Convention. His experiences culminated in earning a scholarship to American University, where he became its first Pentecostal Chaplain, graduating with a degree in International Relations. His unique blend of faith and diplomacy was honed during his service as the youngest General Secretary in Mount Calvary Holy Church of America, where he worked closely with renowned leaders like Bishop Harold Ivory Williams and Shirley Caesar-Williams.

Paul’s ministry is marked by a commitment to building God’s Kingdom and fostering community impact. He co-founded Dominion Church International (one church in two locations – Houston and Orange, Texas) with his wife, Claudia, whom he met while ministering in Trinidad & Tobago. Together, they’ve raised three children and built multiple, successful, seven-figure businesses while leading a thriving church known for its dynamic ministry.

Consecrated as a bishop in 2011, Paul helped establish the Dominion Assembly of Christian Churches, eventually becoming its Presiding Bishop. Beyond ministry, he excelled in public education, achieving significant academic turnarounds in Title I schools. In 2023, Paul launched the Church Growth Collaborative, and later, GROW with Paul Hardin, Inc., both designed to empower pastors with strategies for growth.

As a firm believer in John Maxwell’s principle that “everything rises and falls on leadership,” Paul’s mission is clear: to gather, equip, and inspire others to build the Kingdom of God.

People are the lifeblood of any church.

Before you invest in anything, invest in reaching and connecting with people. Before you buy equipment, get a mortgage, hire a band - invest your resources in connecting with God’s people.

That expense should be your #1 priority as a pastor. If you do that, everything else will fall in place.

For those who say they can’t afford to do it, I say you especially can’t afford not to do it. The best thing I ever did as a pastor was reconfigure our budget to prioritize reaching people and making connections.

We are in the people business. Let’s connect with as many as we can.

Hi, Pastor!

Bishop Paul Hardin here with Church Flow Pro.

Did you know you can actually PROGRAM your intended growth this year?

As in take out all the guessing work about how to reach your growth goals???

We can literally input some key data points into our custom growth calculators and show you exactly what you need to do to achieve this year's membership and revenue growth goals.

We can take your current church size and your intended growth number and determine exactly how many first-time guests you need at a given conversion rate to achieve our growth goals for the year.

Then we can show you exactly what you have to do to get that many first-time guests to your church this year.

And we will show you how your growth will positively impact your revenues for the year.

To top it off, we can show you how we can get into the trenches with you and help you get this Kingdom work done!

Would you like to jump on a zoom to see what YOUR numbers look like and create a custom plan for your church today?

I only have TWO time slots available today - first come, first served. Let me know.

Just reply in the comments below with the word “calculator” and we will connect.

Talk to you soon,

Bishop Paul A. Hardin

Growing your church requires doing three key systems simultaneously: Getting People, Keeping People, Growing People.

Often, when we are not growing, it’s because of a deficiency in one of these keys areas.

This is what we specialize in helping church leaders learn and implement with great effect.

The graphic below from our partner at UpLevel Leader brilliantly illustrates the game plan.

This letter from my dear friend and brother, Pastor Jake Schmelzer blessed my socks off -- check out what he said:

When my dear friend Paul approached me last year with his idea I was totally skeptical…

“No way! I don’t need that hassle. It’s TOO much work!”

Here’s the thing…

Pastor Paul had been a member of my coaching group UpLevel Leader and had achieved absolutely fantastic results…

He applied EVERYTHING he learned from the courses and coaching…

And in the process his church grew from 20 on a good Sunday to over 200 strong in a little over a year!

Glory to God!

But when he came to me and said, “Jake, pastors and churches NEED this training and these tools but so many of them won’t do it without some help,” I finally listened.

And I’m so glad I did.

Because we’re now seeing churches double their attendance and massively increase giving in as little as 90 days.

Yup, you read that right.

Before you say, “Yeah right!” please keep reading…

Because I believe God can use what I’m about to share with you to revolutionize your church and make a serious impact in your community.

Just a few short months ago Pastor Paul and I launched a new service called Church Flow Pro.

In a nutshell CFP does 3 things:

1) Brings first time guests to your church every Sunday.

2) Automates your follow-up and communication so more of your guests come back.

3) Provides weekly in-depth pastoral coaching for you and your team (including ALL of my on-demand video courses) to equip you to break whatever growth barrier you’re currently facing.

We help churches get people, keep people, and grow people.

Pastor Paul’s idea was to take all the courses and training I’d developed over the past 6 years to help churches grow…

Training that has helped thousands of churches grow…

And put it into a completely done-for-you service.

And guess what?

It works!

And even better than that…

Not only do you get nearly instant results with guests and growth…

Pastor, it saves you a TON OF TIME, ENERGY, and EFFORT.

It’s simply too good not to share.

But here’s the thing…

When we started this we said we’d only take 25 clients as “Founders” at the current ridiculously low monthly rate.

And that filled up in 2 months without doing any marketing.

Just word of mouth and insane results.

Now we have churches across the nation (and globally) booking demos and signing up nearly as fast as they see what this service can do for their church.

So we decided to increase the number of “Founders” to 50 churches and then cap it off…

We simply can’t build our team fast enough to handle the growth.

I just got word that we hit 30 clients with a bunch of people signing up in the next few days…

Which means these “founder” spots will be gone in the blink of an eye.

And the price will go up so we can continue to hire and train our team.

Because we’re NOT going to drop the quality of what we provide.

We provide world-class marketing for your church that brings in guests.

We provide one of the most powerful and comprehensive automated communication platforms in the world today…

And then we add weekly coaching and hands-on care for our clients.

It should be 10X the price, but…

Both Paul and I are pastors. Both of us are pastor’s sons. And we LOVE to SERVE pastors!

This isn’t just a business for us…it’s a mission and a ministry.

This is a vision that comes from our heart/vision to bless the socks off of pastors and churches and create momentum for the Kingdom of God!

So, here’s where you come in.

Like I mentioned, there are 20 “founders” spots left.

It’s the lowest price we’ll ever be able to offer for this service.

But our capacity to serve churches is limited and we will need to reassess and retool once we get to 50.

So, if you’re interested in jumping on board with Church Flow Pro I highly encourage you not to put it off too long.

We won’t turn you away but it might be a wait and the price will be going up in the near future so we can continue to help more churches grow!

Here’s your next steps:

1) Check out this video walkthrough of how Church Flow Pro works and what it does and hear from pastors that are actively using Church Flow Pro: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRr0DU0uWbq_US57HkkTaCyOSqltd_UtA&feature=shared

2) Reply to this email with any questions you have. (happy to help!)

3) Go here to sign-up with Church Flow Pro as a “Founder” (until we hit 50 clients): https://checkout.churchflow.pro/

Like I said…

It’s too good not to share!

Talk soon,

Pastor Jake
