Church Consults

We work with individual churches or small workshops of 10 – 12 pastors from different churches to assist pastors/leaders overcome obstacles preventing their churches from going to the next level – numerically and also in health and strength.

 

We address such issues as:

  • The hallmarks of a healthy well balanced pastor & healthy church
  • Understanding – ministry gifting, personality/temperament, strengths & weaknesses
  • The various role changes of the senior pastor in a growing church
  • Transitioning a pastor to a pastor/leader
  • Pastor’s leadership style – the decision making process, the criteria for selecting the board/elders & their function, increasing the senior pastor’s leadership influence, dealing with power brokers in your church.
  • Discipleship, mentoring, empowering, identifying & developing of leaders
  • Understanding the life cycle of a church
  • Going to the next level – a slogan or core passion (identifying key growth issues)
  • Assessing the senior pastor/elders/key leaders (survey questionnaire)
