Church Consultants

Congregations are looking for assistance in meeting the increasingly complex challenges of mission, ministry and congregational life. The programmatic, cookie-cutter answers once offered by denominations are now often viewed as inadequate to meet these challenges. The need is growing for church consultants who can provide more personalized, context-specific help to congregations in need. Church consultants help congregations with challenges like:

 

  • Identity clarification
  • Discerning vision and strategic planning
  • Leadership development and team building
  • Decision-making and discernment about leadership structures, buildings, worship style, mission and ministry priorities
  • Conflict management
