Consulting
Church leadership development for lasting impact with pastors and ministry teams
Focused strategies for your unique context.
There are seasons in every organization where a team must lean in and solve a pressing problem or maximize an opportunity. Our church and ministry leadership consulting process helps you uncover solutions for the season you’re in and execute thoughtful, strategic planning with speed and effectiveness. We help churches leverage change for positive impact.
Organizational Consulting Approaches
One-Day Assessment
We spend a day with your team, walking through a process that is clear, results-oriented and catalytic: digging into what is and exploring what could be.
5D Consulting Process
A multi-stage process that engages your team and builds frameworks and plans that actually work in practice. We move through five stages including diagnose, dream, decide, develop and deliver. Engagements typically range from 3-18 months depending on scope of work.
Multi-Site Reimagined
One of the challenges of being a multisite church is that it adds new layers of complexity and strain on leaders that are already operating at full capacity. Whether you are just getting started or attempting to determine how to best scale, it is likely time to reimagine your multisite approach. Our process helps you adapt multisite to your context for this season.
What’s Next Change Strategy
There are moments in every church where a team must lean in and solve a pressing problem or maximize an opportunity. Our process helps you uncover solutions for the season you’re in and execute these strategic planning for churches with speed and effectiveness. We help you leverage change for positive impact.
Smart Succession Planning
Succession is the intentional transition of authority, responsibility and power from one primary leader to another. Though the senior leader usually seeks to productively transition their own ministry and the life of the church to a new season, the leadership is often not prepared to guide the way. Copying another church’s strategic planning or organization’s process rarely works. We can help you develop a custom roadmap for successful transition that avoids costly detours and leads to enhanced kingdom impact.

FAQ
Why work with a consultant?
How does the consulting process work?
Not all consulting processes are created equal. If you’re looking for a quick fix and out of the box solution, you probably need to keep looking. We are committed to our 5 D process that takes the necessary time to diagnose and dream with your and your team in your current situation before moving to decisions, development of unique plans and effective delivery. Your plan is your plan, not just a version of someone else’s.
Who from your team participates in the consulting process?
This depends on the area of impact that we are engaged with you around. However, it always involves the appropriate executive, governance and program leadership working toward a collaborative solution.
