Launch Guide 1 · Ministry Fit
An assessment is a start. A phone call makes it real.
Ministry Fit helps people see how God shaped them to serve. This guide helps your team follow up so each person lands in a role, in about 14 days. We expect your Ministry Fit to be launched when real people have a saved result and a person at your church has followed through.
Start here
Which one are you?
Pick your part. You will see only what you need.
Your job: 20 to 30 minutes a week
You run the system. Each result gets a real person's call, and you keep the sheet honest.
- Day 0: walk through the three tabs, the hand-raise email and the Wednesday digest, and write down our number (3 to 5).
- Check the sheet twice a week: once midweek, once after Sunday.
- Route each result to the right ministry leader within 2 days.
- Fill in contacted_at and placed_at on the sheet, at least weekly.
Your part: 10 minutes a week, or one call
Three kinds of people help the owner.
- Follow-up helper: confirms each contact happened and nudges a leader if 48 hours pass. About 10 to 15 minutes a week.
- Sponsor: a pastor or staff member who makes the first Sunday share personal. About 10 minutes a week.
- Ministry leader: not on the team, but the most important call. Reach out, then name a role and a first serving date. About 5 minutes per match.
Why this matters
Many people finish an assessment and never hear from anyone. We expect a short, personal call to turn a result into a role. Ministry Fit does the matching. Your people do the calling.
Your part is small: make the first Sunday share personal, and ask your leaders to respond fast. About 10 minutes a week.
Your first 7 days
Three moves in the first week
We expect the first week to decide how the second week goes. Keep it small and do it on time.
Day 0: the handoff call
30 minutes with the owner. Walk the three tabs and write down our number.
First Sunday: tell people
Share it in a service, in your own words. The sponsor makes it personal.
By day 7: a second place and a first check
Use one more place (bulletin, screen, text or small group). Check the sheet twice.
What is inside
One kit. Light on purpose.
Ministry Fit is the lightest system, so the kit is light too. Open the files here, or download them to print.
Launch checklist and tracker guide
Page 1 is the checklist. Page 2 shows which sheet columns to fill in and how to count people.
Team deck
No prep needed. Walk it together in one sitting.
Leader notes
A script for whoever leads the team meeting.
The follow-up call
Five minutes, one person
The call is where the assessment becomes a role. Try one.
Try it
Hear a first call before you make one
A made up person, Jordan, finished the assessment. Pick the role that stood out and how the call went. Nothing is sent or saved.
Sample for a made up person. Your real results live on your own sheet.
The launch test
Four things have to be true by day 14.
Delivered means Multiply built it. Launched means real people used it and a person at your church followed through. If one is missing, it is delivered, not launched yet.
An owner
One named person runs it and has been walked through it on the handoff call.
An entry point
Shared in a service on the first Sunday, and in one other place before day 14.
A first use
Our number of different people have a saved result. Pick yours:
Choose 3 to 5. Once you set it, it can go up but not down.
A closed loop
Each one is contacted in time and has a named role with a first serving date.
Plan your dates
Pick your delivery date. Get your calendar.
Your team: an owner, a helper and a sponsor.
- Pick a delivery date to see your dates.
The checklist

Your team
Two or three people, and one leader for each role.
Owner
Runs the system. Checks the sheet twice a week, routes each result to the right leader within 2 days, fills in the dates.
Follow-up helper
Confirms each contact happened, nudges a leader if 48 hours pass, and keeps the share moments going.
Sponsor
A pastor or staff member. Makes the first Sunday share personal and asks leaders to respond fast.
Ministry leader
Not on the team, but the most important call. Contacts the person and names a role and a first date.
Under 50 in attendance, the helper and sponsor roles can combine. The owner stays separate.
The tracker
Your sheet is the proof.
Multiply can see that people finished the assessment. Only your own records show that a person was contacted and placed. Fill in these columns at least weekly.
contacted_atThe date a real person reached out: a call, text, email or conversation.
placed_atThe date a named role with a first serving date was confirmed. Put the serving date in the notes cell.
NotesNot ready yet, wants a different role, no answer after two tries. These count as recorded.
Count different people, not rows. A retake or two email addresses is still one person.
If it stalls
Missing a window is not failing.
It is usually owner time, not the product. On day 11 you get a text from us. On day 14, if you have not launched, we call. No automatic emails, a person does the follow-up.
Set a new date
If calls are still in flight, you get one slide to day 21. It does not count as a missed window.
Shrink the scope
Pick the smallest version that passes the test. For example, a number of 3 and one leader.
Pause with a date
Pick a day to come back. After two missed windows, we pause and write down why together.
Owner overwhelmed? Call the helper first. Then tell Multiply. You will not be left alone with it.
