Work With Me

Every church that's not growing has a reason. Let's find yours.

Most of the time it's not what you think it is. And until you know what it actually is, every strategy is just a guess. Here's how we can work together.

My consulting work is built around one process: the Ministry Reset. It's a research-based, field-tested framework that takes a church from confused to clear to visible — addressing strategy, culture, and brand in the right order. Depending on where your church is and what you need, we can engage at different levels. Start where you are. Go deeper when you're ready.

Church Growth Assessment

The fastest way to find out what's actually wrong

If you know something is off but can't name it — or you want an honest outside perspective before committing to a bigger process — the Church Growth Assessment is your starting point.

This isn't a coaching call or a generic consultation. It's a focused diagnostic engagement built around your church's specific situation. You walk away with a clear picture of your top growth barriers and a prioritized plan to address them.

Ministry Reset · Full Engagement

The Complete Ministry Reset

From stuck to clear to visible

The complete Ministry Reset Process takes your church through all three phases — context, clarity, and alignment — resulting in a research-based strategy, a unified leadership team, and a brand and communications presence that works.

Not every church needs Phase 3. We assess that together based on what the diagnostic work reveals. The process is thorough, but never more than what your church actually needs.

Frequently asked

What pastors usually want to know.

Where do most churches start?+

Most churches start with the Church Growth Assessment. It's the lowest-risk way to get a clear, honest picture of where you are — and it gives you enough information to decide whether a deeper engagement makes sense.

Do I need to commit to the full process upfront?+

No. Each tier stands alone and delivers real value. Many churches complete the Assessment, use the action plan, and come back when they're ready for Phase 1.

Do you work virtually or on-site?+

Both. The Church Growth Assessment is fully virtual. Phase 1 and the full Ministry Reset include on-site work as part of the diagnostic process, with travel costs factored into the engagement.

How many clients do you take on at a time?+

A limited number. This work requires real attention and I don't take on more than I can serve well. If you're considering working together, sooner is better than later.

What if it's not a fit?+

The Church Growth Assessment comes with a 7-day satisfaction guarantee. If you review the action plan and don't feel it can help your church, reach out and we'll make it right.

Not sure which is right?
