Reservoir

Goal: Growth | Core Value: Excellence  | Theme: Growth

Reservoir churches are capable of serving as high-capacity hubs that serve as regional resource engines.

Wesleyan Mission: To steward the means of grace with such excellence and scale that the ‘all-sufficient power of God’ flows through us to increase the reach of the Gospel, ensuring that every soul has the capacity to grow in perfect love.

Setting: Densely populated urban-fringe or inner-ring suburbs (e.g., Reno’s Southwest or other regional centers).

Possible Strategy: High-capacity, high-visibility church experience. Engage in areas with a massive population of nones (religiously unaffiliated) who are tired of the traditional-conservative vs. progressive-activist binary.

Success Metric: Weekly Attendance & Scaling. This is your primary revenue and volunteer engine.

Possible Growth Area: Focus on high-production Sunday experiences and robust kids’ programming. This demographic is often time-poor. They value a one-stop shop for family spiritual health that doesn’t require an advanced education to understand but also isn’t prescriptive.
