Your church's vision,turned into this week's work.
CORE gives your church one place to run its strategy. Turn your vision into a few clear outcomes, break each one into seasonal goals with an owner, and run the meetings that move them. Your whole team sees the plan and where they fit in it.
What growth breaks
The bigger you get, the harder it is to stay on the same page.
When your church was smaller, the vision fit in one person's head and a hallway conversation kept everyone aligned. Past a few hundred people, that stops working. More staff, more ministries, more moving parts, and no shared place to see how any of it connects.
The vision lives in a slide deck from last year's retreat. Nobody opens it.
Goals get set in January and forgotten by March.
Every ministry runs its own direction, and two of them booked the same weekend.
You are the only one holding the whole picture, and it no longer fits in one head.
None of this means you are failing. It means you outgrew running a church from memory and a group text. That calls for a shared system, not more willpower.
A quick tour
This is exactly what
CORE does.
Five connected views, one line of sight. Your vision at the top, seasonal goals with owners beneath it, the projects and tasks that do the work, and the meetings that keep it moving. Change one thing and it updates everywhere. Click through what your team uses each week.
The CORE framework
Six connected tools.
One line of sight.
Vision sets direction. Goals make it seasonal. Tasks and Projects do the work. Weekly Review and Meetings keep it honest. Nothing lives in a silo.
Vision
Name a three-year vision as a handful of clear outcomes. Progress rolls up from the goals beneath each one, so direction stays visible, not aspirational.
Goals
Break each outcome into seasonal goals on the church calendar: Sep to Dec, Jan to Apr, May to Aug. Every goal has an owner and a status the whole team can see.
Projects
For bigger efforts, group objectives, milestones, and tasks into a project. Link it to the goals it serves so progress flows both ways.
Weekly Review
A fast weekly rhythm where everyone posts real-time status on their work and goal progress. Leaders see what moved, what stalled, and what needs attention, without calling another meeting.
Meetings
Run meetings as repeatable leadership rhythms. Choose a template with a timed agenda, and each attendee's goals and projects show up automatically. Capture decisions and NNAs, one next action and one owner at a time, right in the room.
Everything connected
Change a goal and the vision updates. Close a task and the project moves. No copy-paste between tools.
See it in your own accountWhy CORE
Built for how churches actually lead.
You have other options. Here is why a church-built system beats the three most common ones.
Better than no system
Most churches run on memory, a retreat doc, and a shared calendar. It works until it does not. CORE puts your vision, goals, and meetings in one shared place, so the plan does not live and die in the lead pastor's head.
Not another Asana or ClickUp
General project tools are built for product teams and start at the task. They never tie the work back to your mission, and your volunteers will not touch them. CORE starts at vision and speaks church: ministry seasons, leadership meetings, and outcomes your team recognizes.
More than a goal tracker
Tracking this season's goals is good. Connecting them to a three-year vision and the meetings that move them is better. CORE runs the whole path from calling to calendar, not just the checklist.
How it works
Set up your first vision in an afternoon.
No consultant, no six-week rollout. Name a vision, add your first season of goals, and invite your team the same afternoon.
Name your vision
Write your three-year vision as a few clear outcomes. This is the north star every goal and meeting points back to.
Break it into seasons
Add seasonal goals and assign owners. CORE uses the four-month ministry rhythms your calendar already runs on.
Meet, track, adjust
Meet weekly and monthly against real progress. Update status, close tasks, and let the vision reflect where you actually are.
Built-in AI
AI that helps you lead, not just type.
CORE's AI works inside the tools you already use. It drafts your progress updates and turns rough ideas into plans, so your team spends less time writing and more time leading. You stay in charge of every word.
AI goal coach
Create goals with a proven framework, worded clearly and tied to the vision outcome they serve. A good intention becomes a goal your team can track.
AI strategy update
Draft a clear progress update across your vision and goals in seconds, ready to send to your board or share with the staff.
AI project assistant
Describe a ministry idea and get objectives, milestones, and tasks you can assign the same day. A rough thought becomes a plan.
Pricing
Priced by seats, not by features.
Every plan includes every feature, AI and all. Start free with one leader and add your team when you are ready.
Why CORE exists
Built by the people who do this work.
Clearway is a team of pastors first, coaches second. We have led worship teams, staff teams, and multisite churches ourselves, and we learned the same lesson everywhere: most churches do not lack vision. They lack the foundations and frameworks to execute it.
That is the work we do with pastors and their teams every week: coaching leaders, guiding strategic planning, and partnering for the long haul as churches go from vision to strategy to execution. CORE puts those same frameworks into software your whole team can run. Same thinking. Fewer spreadsheets.
