Coaching
“My philosophy in pastoral transitions is that a church can do better than just ‘getting through a change of pastors.’ With good guidance, preparation, and coaching, the transition can be an ideal time of renewed energy and growth!”
I coach:
- Churches needing to change their culture.
- Churches entering the Changeover Zone of a Pastoral Transition.
- 2nd Pastors Following a Founder — whether the church is a few months or more than 10 years old, it has never had a change of pastoral leadership and is at its most fragile time.
- Pastoral transitions involving long-tenured pastors — many similar dynamics are present when a church hasn’t had a pastoral leadership transition for more than 10 years.
- Larger church pastors — usually because growth has plateaued, or the church is going through some difficult time trying to be relevant and find renewed passion.
- Churches wanting to improve their hospitality.

Churches

Webinars
COVID-19 and social distancing has caused our team to put all our workshops into webinar form with the same great content that is relevant, doable, interactive, fun, and shows results!
Pastoral Searches
For the past five years, we have successfully worked with Bishops, Cabinets, and local church Staff-Parish-Relations committees to find and recruit ‘best match’ new Sr. Pastors to larger church appointments. With nearly a 100% success rate, our process is the most thorough in the industry of matching a church with the right pastor, often recruiting across Conference lines. Contact us for referrals and success stories!
