85% of churches in America are plateaued or declining, thousands of churches close each year,
and 64% of 18-29 year olds that were raised in the church have left.
The ROGO (Real with Ourselves, God and Others) Foundation exists to build up the local church and those that lead them.
We merge with struggling churches, remodeling, and upgrading the facilities,
so that their legacies can continue with our resources and support.
We plant new Sandals Church campus locations to further reach the lost and share about the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We partner with organizations around our campuses to resource the community with their specific needs.
We invest in NextGen and those with leadership potential building up the next generation of leaders.

Helping Struggling Churches and Building up the Local Church
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 range from finding and implementing relevant and compelling
kids curriculum or developing robust local outreach strategies, all the way
to addressing poor or toxic 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.
In 2015, 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.
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 Avenue launched in the spring of 2018. Prior to the revitalization, Palm Baptist Church had roughly 40 members in regular attendance and on launch weekend they had over 1,600 attendees (a 4000% increase!).
