What does church consulting involve?

Church consulting is a guided process that helps church leaders understand where their church is today, identify barriers to health, and develop a clear plan for moving forward. This often includes assessing culture, leadership structure, systems, discipleship pathways, communication, guest experience, and community engagement. The goal is clarity, alignment, and gospel impact—not just numerical growth.

How do I know if my church needs consulting?

Common signs include lack of clarity, recurring conflict, ministry silos, declining engagement, unclear vision, leadership fatigue, unhealthy systems, or challenges that don’t improve with internal effort alone. Consulting helps your church regain direction, unity, and momentum. If you’re asking this question, it’s usually time to talk.

How is pastor coaching different from church consulting?

Consulting focuses on the church. Coaching focuses on the pastor or leaders. Coaching strengthens spiritual health, leadership skills, emotional intelligence, preaching, relational wisdom, and long-term sustainability. Healthy churches thrive under healthy leaders, so coaching is personal, supportive, and tailored.

Do you offer preaching coaching?

Yes. We work with pastors to strengthen sermon clarity, structure, application, delivery, and gospel-centered communication. Preaching coaching can be part of a broader coaching plan or a standalone focus.

What does a healthy church look like?

Healthy churches display biblical faithfulness, relational unity, clarity of mission, aligned leadership, intentional discipleship pathways, healthy systems, meaningful community engagement, and joyful participation in the Great Commission. Every church expresses these differently, but these markers help diagnose strengths and needs.

Who do you work with?

We work with pastors, church planters, staff teams, elder boards, and churches of every size—established, revitalizing, multisite, or newly planted. Our approach is relational, adaptable, and rooted in biblical clarity.

Do you work with multisite churches?

Yes. We help multisite churches strengthen alignment, communication, leadership structures, systems, and campus integration.

Do you help small churches or churches in decline?

Absolutely. Some of our most meaningful work is walking with smaller or declining churches seeking renewed health, fresh clarity, and a plan for their next faithful step.

Do you help churches evaluate or hire staff?

Yes. We assist churches with leadership placement, staff structure evaluation, pastoral searches, role clarity, and discernment processes to ensure the right people are in the right roles.

Do you work with churches in my denomination?

Yes. While our convictions align with historic Christian orthodoxy and evangelical faith, we serve churches across many denominations. Our focus is helping churches remain biblically faithful and missionally effective.

Do you offer on-site consulting?

Yes. On-site visits allow us to observe services, systems, culture, and community context firsthand, which often provides deeper insight. Remote consulting is also available when travel or budget requires it.

Is coaching one-on-one, or can our whole team participate?

Both. We offer individual coaching for pastors as well as coaching and training environments for staff teams, elders, deacons, and ministry leaders. We shape the format around your needs.

How long does coaching or consulting last?

It varies. Some churches need short-term guidance for a specific issue; others benefit from an ongoing partnership over several months. We build every plan around your goals, timeline, and rhythm of ministry.

What issues do you most often help churches with?

Common areas include church revitalization, leadership development, staff structure, preaching and communication, conflict resolution, vision clarity, strategic planning, guest experience, assimilation systems, discipleship pathways, evangelism strategies, community engagement, and organizational health assessments. Every plan is customized to your church.

Do you help with burnout or ministry fatigue?

Yes. Many pastors reach out when they feel tired, discouraged, or uncertain. We walk with leaders to rebuild spiritual health, rediscover rest, and regain clarity and joy in their calling.

Are there intro-level options for churches wanting to “test the waters”?

Yes. Many churches begin with a single assessment or report—such as a Know Your Community Assessment or Know Your Church Assessment. These provide actionable clarity and often lead to broader consulting support.

How much does coaching or consulting cost?

Pricing depends on the level of support, travel needs, and timeline. Every proposal is customized to your goals. The first conversation is always free and without obligation.

How do we get started?

It begins with a conversation. We listen to your story, challenges, and goals, then recommend the level of coaching or consulting that fits your season of ministry. Use the contact form to start the conversation—we’ll follow up personally.
