Church Consultations
The local church is the hope of the world. Yet very few churches in the United States are growing. Most pastors and church leaders know when their church is struggling but are often so immersed in the daily fight of ministry that they cannot diagnose the underlying causes or find lasting solutions. We believe that we can help reverse these trends of decline by implementing best practices through God honoring wisdom and excellence. We want to come alongside you and see your church flourish to the glory of God.
We’ll walk through a proven process of discovering your church’s unique environment and challenges, and sharing practical recommendations that will make a difference. This 16-week consultation includes a robust assessment through an on-site visit, interviews with pastors and leaders, surveys with attendees / members, and analyses of data from the community and your church.
We’ll share reporting that will help you make a difference in the health of your church:
- An assessment of your community, including both demographics and psychographics
- A perspective on your church facilities and worship service
- A review of the perceptions of your church from your attendees / members and leadership
- An analysis of your stewardship and finances
- A “Church Health Report” detailing strengths and opportunities
- Practical recommendations for next steps for your church
We want to ensure your church gets the most from all of the reporting we’ll provide. Every consulting engagement includes six coaching sessions to assist you in implementing your next steps.
You’ll receive all of this customized reporting and support for $3,900 (plus travel costs) - less than the amount given by a new donating family added to your church.
