A clear, practical standard for evaluating, planning, and tracking your congregation's technology and media capabilities, one star at a time.
In memory of Bishop Reginald T. Jackson – mentor, pastor, and leader who called us to imagine 'The Church At Its Best.' Amplify Ministries carries this vision forward.
The 5-Star Framework organizes a congregation's technology and media capabilities into five stars, each representing a category of ministry-critical infrastructure. Within each star, your church is rated across specific indicators.
A church does not need to be 5-Star in every category to benefit from the framework. The goal is clarity: knowing where you stand today, what 5-Star looks like, and what closes the gap.
A 5-Star Church ensures that every word spoken and every note played can be heard clearly, by the person in the back pew and the person watching from home.
A 5-Star Church extends its worship experience beyond its walls, reaching members who cannot attend in person with a stream that reflects the quality of the in-room experience.
A 5-Star Church supports worship visually: lyrics, scripture, announcements, and media displayed clearly throughout the sanctuary and any overflow spaces.
A 5-Star Church is findable, credible, and welcoming online. Its digital presence reflects the same excellence as its in-person ministry.
A 5-Star Church is not dependent on any one person. Its media and technology ministry is staffed, trained, and supported by the resources available to it.
The 5-Star Assessment is offered at no cost.
We believe every church deserves to know where they stand. The assessment is how we start every relationship, with no obligation and no pressure.
Request a no-cost 5-Star Technology Assessment. We'll evaluate your congregation across all five areas, deliver a written report, and outline a clear, phased path forward.
