The result is an efficient process and an exceptional pool of candidates that align on multiple levels: theology, leadership experience, capacity and culture. As a national consulting group, we are we

Evidence of candidate fit is found via two objective assessments. When coupled with robust interviews and references on education, experience, and theology, the result is a highly aligned candidate pool.

The right candidates are motivated to engage your opportunity.

They recognize themselves in the profile, particularly those who are not out “looking.” They like knowing we care as much about their fit as their qualification.

Every church and faith-based organization has a distinctive culture as well as unique challenges and opportunities that must be considered when making key decisions. These distinctions matter. The best transition plan or most qualified candidate will only succeed when there is “fit” with the culture. Why?

Because “culture eats strategy for lunch.”

Your culture influences everything about you. If your culture is healthy and well-prepared, even long-tenured leadership change can be life-giving and celebratory. If your culture is unhealthy or unprepared, your transitional journey may feel bumpy, difficult, and take a little longer. Our approach informs you about your options and empowers you to skillfully navigate this critical time with support, confidence, and the wisdom of experience.

Assessments provide insights that help describe God’s design in a person and can provide a shared language that promotes development personally and professionally. The number of pastors who have taken personal assessments without any follow-up coaching to help them fully understand and integrate what was revealed is staggering. We want to invest with you to create a plan that supports, encourages, and empowers your growth, and positions you to take your leadership to the next level.

Too often the insights gained through a church health assessment get filed away once the report is complete. The opportunity to leverage and build off what was learned is lost. Coaching will help you to integrate your results into a ministry plan that positions you to take action with what you learned and realize the kinds of gains that move you beyond challenge points and toward a consistently vibrant and transformative church experience.
