The best Easter ever…
… is the most strategic Easter ever.
STEP ONE
A 42-page Easter operating system with timelines, scripts, metrics, and marketing to stop guessing.
STEP TWO
Sheldon unpacks a strategic Easter plan that drives attendance, salvations, and real momentum beyond Sunday.
If 30% more people walked into your church this Easter… would your systems hold?
Or would something crack?
Easter isn’t about pulling off an impressive Sunday. It’s about building a moment strong enough to carry momentum into the next 90 days.
Build it right, and Easter becomes your strongest quarter.
Build it wrong, and it becomes a spike you spend months recovering from.
Easter is April 5th. Every day from now until then matters.
Let’s engineer it.
Most churches prepare. Strong churches engineer.
The gap isn’t budget.
It isn’t production.
It isn’t passion.
It’s systems.
Most churches plan a Sunday.
Strong churches build a 90-day runway.
Guests attend.
No capture. No next step. No sequence. By Wednesday, they’re gone.
Teams run on adrenaline.
Not clarity. Stress rises. Precision drops.
Momentum Peaks
Sunday afternoon, we’re on a high and by midweek—it’s dissolved.
No scorecard.
No documentation. Next year starts from scratch.
That’s not spiritual. That’s structural.
“If you engineer this correctly,
Easter won’t spike attendance.
It will shift trajectory.”
Sheldon J. Andrus III
What’s Inside
The EasterOS Playbook is a 42-page operating system built from my experience leading inside churches of 60… and churches of 15,000+ including the same play we ran at the “fastest growing church in America” in 2024.
It’s not theory. It’s not a template. It’s a structured framework for turning Easter from a one-day spike into sustained momentum.
✓ Eight operational parts.
✓ Three working appendices.
✓ A master calendar with owners and dates.
✓ Scripts that remove guesswork.
This is an executable architecture for any-sized church.
