You have a heart for mission.

Why call it The 153 Effect?
In the Gospel of John after the resurrection of Jesus, Peter and several disciples are fishing (and empty-handed in their efforts) when Jesus encourages them to cast the net again. When they haul the net ashore, Peter counts a hundred and fifty-three large fish, and the net was not torn.
Like the disciples, we believe in listening to where Jesus leads and reaping the abundance of ministry guided by His direction. Together with you, we create the 153 Effect: applying metrics to discern where Jesus is leading and reap the abundance of His ministry.
The 153 Effect, brought to you by SmartMetrix.
Using nearly two decades of work in churches and spending a LOT of time with numbers, we created The 153 Effect to help you measure and understand what drives growth for your church.
