MINISTRY CONSULTANT
“Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” (Prov. 15:22 NIV)
Help Churches reach out and become healthy!
Why churches need consultants
• Attendance has declined.
• Planned giving and/or offerings are declining.
• Persons attending do not return or join the church.
• Conflict within the church.
This happens often because of one or more of the following:
• The church does not have a plan for ensuring its growth either short term and/or long term, and wants to have a plan.
• The church desires to start a major effort in its life and ministry; e.g. building expansion, mission effort, capital campaign, etc.
• The church is doing okay, but is not sure what its strengths and weakness are, at this moment in its life.
Dear Christian Leader,
Hundreds of churches close their doors every year, never to reopen again. After years of service to their communities and expansion of the kingdom, they are forced to shut down.
God may have directed you to read this because he wants me to help your specific church – possibly the one you lead.
We know of many churches that now enjoy growth after years of decline and apathy. Their leaders have endured pain, disappointment, doubt and loss … but the turnaround was worth it all. Some of them had sudden breakthroughs, others saw gradual improvement.
The one thing they had in common was an understanding of the six purposes of the church, found in Acts 2:42-44. When they applied these biblical concepts, their churches' mediocrity transformed into renewed vision, vitality and growth. Some leaders work with consultants. Others have learned what the consultants know … and applied it to their own churches. Right now – across the world and right in your hometown – churches are struggling to stay open and fight shrinking attendance. Leaders are needed right now to help churches overcome adversity or break out of mediocrity. Could it be that you're at a crossroads in your life? Could God have a new leadership challenge waiting for you? Or do you face a tough challenge in your own ministry … and need answers? |
But please don’t think consultants are only brought in when a church is in its final days – not at all. Many congregations need different kinds of help along the way. Here are some of the common needs: The list goes on. We have experience that could help in these areas?
We’re anxious to help struggling churches. WE have newfound confidence to tackle the challenges in churches.. No one else has your exact ministry experiences. There are lessons (some of them hard!) that God has allowed into your life The Society for Church Consulting has turned out more than 900 trained leaders. We’ve given them tools and knowledge designed to infuse new life into unhealthy congregations. We don’t have the manpower to work with all the troubled churches that ask us for help – but we can turn a declining congregation into a vibrant one. Of course, we won’t succeed every time – the Lord himself will determine each church’s path. But we can diligently offer you our services and watch God work. “I just want to help one more church before I go." This is a quote from a retired pastor We have the same desire to devote our life to helping other church leaders before we go home? Just think of the eternal impact we could have. |
If we work with a few churches … who have hundreds of members … who in turn impact their communities for Christ and send out mission teams … you get an idea of the multiplying effect. We’ve got a strong desire to make an impact too – through ministry-minded people just like you. My heart is stirred when I meet pastors and other church leaders who are eager to take churches to the next level. You’ve probably heard that 85% of churches are in decline. Let’s fight that trend!
