The PlusOne® Church

The core introduction to the The PlusOne® Journey System

This book casts a bold new vision for evangelism rooted in authentic relationships, not scripted performances. Drawing from the ministry model of Jesus and the power of exponential growth, The PlusOne® Church helps leaders and everyday believers reimagine what it means to share their faith—one person, one moment, one step at a time.

What if evangelism wasn’t something we scheduled, but something we lived?

In a time when many churches feel stuck, discouraged, or disconnected from their communities, The PlusOne® Church offers a refreshing and deeply biblical alternative to event-driven evangelism. Drawing inspiration from Christ’s method of personal connection, the exponential growth of the chessboard parable, and years of pastoral experience, Eugene Kitney invites churches to embrace a relational revolution, one that begins with just one intentional relationship. 

This book challenges the status quo and asks hard questions: 

  • Why do expensive reaping events often produce minimal fruit? 
  • Why do new believers walk away so quickly after baptism? 
  • What would happen if every believer embraced one intentional relationship that could ripple into many? 

The PlusOne® model isn’t a program. It’s a mindset shift. Built on the truth that people stay where they are known, this book outlines a compelling framework for grassroots disciple-making, low-cost/high-impact relational strategies, and culture change that can start with anyone, anywhere. 

You’ll discover:

  • Why Jesus’ method still works, and what makes it so powerful today
  • How exponential growth happens through everyday connection
  • A step-by-step invitation strategy that doesn’t feel forced or awkward
  • How to help your church shift from counting attendance to cultivating attachment
  • Why hospitality, presence, and consistency make better evangelists than pressure ever could

This book serves as the foundation of the PlusOne® Journey, a complete relational evangelism ecosystem including: 

  • The PlusOne® Companion (Workbook & Journal - your personal practice companion) 
  • The PlusOne® Blueprint (Curriculum & Leader’s Guide - a 7-week training for churches and small groups) 
  • Participant handouts and tools to turn every member into a connector.              

Whether you’re a pastor, small group leader, longtime member, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, The PlusOne® Church will help you rediscover what it means to reach people the way Jesus did: up close and personal. One relationship at a time. 

You don’t have to be a preacher to make disciples. You just have to show up.
