The Roadmap is how Good Acres walks alongside congregations ready to reimagine their land.

The Good Acres Roadmap is a guided journey from where you are to where you’re called to grow.

Built around your people, your place, and your purpose, this is a journey you don’t walk alone.

From early questions to next steps, the Roadmap offers clarity, direction, and support.

How your Roadmap Works

Every Roadmap begins with three core components that guide your journey:

A winding road diagram showing four steps for a process. Step 1: Congregation Profile, marked with a location pin icon and labeled with number 1. Step 2: Custom Program Plan, marked with an icon of a pathway and labeled with number 2. Step 3: Milestone Meetings, marked with speech bubbles and labeled with number 3. The top of the road has a large marker labeled 'Road Map'.

  • A clear snapshot of your congregation’s property, finances, and mission -  offering the clarity needed to ground the journey ahead.

  • Your tailored roadmap.
    This plan connects your goals with the Good Acres suite of offerings — tools, workshops, coaching, and partnerships — all selected to align with your congregation’s needs, capacity, and aspirations.

  • Regular check-ins that keep your journey moving forward.
    These sessions help you track progress, adapt strategies, and celebrate wins along the way.

Along your Custom Roadmap Plan, you will explore the Good Acres Suite of Offerings.

These tools are here to serve your congregation’s unique path.

    • For congregations seeking clarity before making decisions about new uses, partnerships, or development.

    • Aligns faith leaders, advisors, and partners around a clear, realistic understanding of financial, organizational, and property readiness - early in the process.

    • Surveys: Leaders complete brief surveys, with additional property and financial input from the pastor or treasurer.

    The audit process concludes with clear next steps to support informed, mission-aligned decisions about property, partnerships, or development.
