70% of churches in America are plateaued or declining, thousands of churches close each year and 59% of millennials that were raised in the church have dropped out.
The ROGO Foundation exists to replant dying churches. We do this by developing the two critical components of healthy churches; the people that lead them and the places where they gather. We merge with struggling churches, remodel and upgrade the facilities, and implement our proven ministry leadership model so that their legacies can continue with our resources and support. We also plant Sandals Church campus locations to further reach the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Over the last decade, Sandals Church and the ROGO Foundation have provided support to hundreds of churches that have reached out to us as they have strived to overcome various ministry related challenges they were currently facing.
These challenges ranged from finding and implementing relevant and compelling kids curriculum or developing robust local outreach strategies, all the way to addressing toxic staff or poor staff culture. Regardless of the issue, we want to be a resource to your church by helping to develop every aspect of a thriving ministry.
Amethyst Bible Church was located in the small town of Mentone, CA. They had a big heart for reaching the community with the gospel, but didn’t quite have the resources to make that happen. With only around 30 people attending each week and only a few family’s keeping the church afloat, they knew something needed to change.
In 2017, Sandals Church East Valley became the first ever revitalized campus. In just one week, their attendance went from 30 people per week, to 670 on opening day.

Founded in 1925, Northpoint Christian Fellowship Church stood as a beacon of hope in one of the most dangerous cities in the country for nearly a century. Unfortunately their world came to a crashing halt in 1999 when the church was burnt down by an arsonist, forcing them into difficult circumstances they could not have foreseen. After countless trials and difficult decisions, they sought out a new way to maximize their ability to reach the community.
In April of 2018, Northpoint Christian Fellowship became Sandals Church San Bernardino. On their very first weekend together, they had 801 members in attendance, up from 110.
Sandals Church Palm Ave. opening day, 2018 Positioned right at the heart of Riverside, CA, Palm Baptist Church thrived for decades as a place of sanctuary in a rapidly growing city. Despite being one of the oldest churches in RIverside, time took its effect and attendance began to dwindle. With only 40 members left and a rapidly decreasing budget, the leadership knew they needed to take a leap of faith to reach the community around them.
Sandals Church Palm Ave. launched in early 2018. Prior to the revitalization, Palm Baptist Church had 30-40 members in regular attendance, and on launch weekend they had over 1,600 attendees (a 3900% increase!).
