A consultation  helps your church do the following:

1. Ensure and maintain a healthy spiritual environment so that congregants continue to grow closer to Christ and mature in faith;

2. Assist a church in identifying its unique skill sets and passions for ministry, and where they intersect with the community they serve.

3. Develop action plans to put “boots on the ground” in serving the local community in Jesus name. Since each church is unique, we do not bring “cookie-cutter” ideas for implementation, but help your church to discover customized ministry relevant to your church and community.

Here’s a general idea of what a consultation entails. The process with be a little different depending on the type of consultation you choose, so please contact and we’ll gladly give you the details on the process for your particular choice.

The general outline:

1. Initial Interview

2. Pre-visit data gathering

   We will ask you for key data that tell a bit of the story of your church. This would include: attendance figures; financial trends; congregational involvement; staff data; governing structure and documents; website and social media usage.

   We will engage in pre-visit surveys and conversations that give insight into the mission, vision, and values of your church.

   Depending on the type of consultation, we may also gather data and information on YOUR community. 

3. Virtual Or On-site Visit

   Depending on the need, we will spend time with you and learn first-hand about your church. We’ll get to know your stories, schedule interviews with leadership, individuals, and/or conduct focus groups.
