Answering the question, “What’s next?” is our sweet spot.

We walk alongside pastors, like you, who are asking, “What’s next?”

  • When trying to find a way forward in the cultural chaos of today. 
  • After losing leaders and people.
  • When wanting a spiritual renewal within your congregation, but you aren’t quite sure how to do it. 
  • When can’t find a way to get your get your people engaged.
  • When you are tired of being CEO, not a pastor. 
  • After decision-makers won’t get on the same page.  
  • After people won’t have spiritual conversations where they live, work, study, and play. 

We walk alongside congregations, who ask the same question.

  • When they are ready to search for a new pastor. 
  • After they are tired of steady decline year after year.

Inspires Hope

Does one or more of the following describe your church?

  • It’s stuck.
  • It’s shrinking and aging.
  • It lacks funding.
  • It has a hard time developing new leaders.
  • It’s lacking energetic and relevant programing.

You are not alone. Many congregations find themselves in the same place. The good news is that that there is a pathway that leads you away from that place.

We work alongside you to inspire hope by presenting a future that is biblically guided by the truth that Jesus Christ Himself is building His church and that God’s blessing can spark health, growth and multiplication.

Instills Vision

Congregations that are stuck have often lost their sense of vision and leaders wonder what God’s vision might hold for them.

We work alongside you to encourage leaders to seek a vision of God before seeking a vision from God.

Rather than beginning with the question, “What is God’s vision for our church,” we encourage leaders to ask, “What is God’s vision for Himself,” and then, “How can our church serve that vision?”

With this big picture firmly in place, we then ask, “How does God want to express Himself through our church in our community at this time?”

This instills a godly vision and clear direction toward a godly destination.

Informs Strategy

Does your church have clarity?

In the King James Version, Proverbs 29:18 reads, “without a vision, the people will perish.” Here’s another truth, “without a strategy, the vision will perish.”

Discerning and developing God’s vision for a congregation is a vital and necessary investment, but words on a page do not make ministry happen.

Articulating vision is an important first step but other steps must follow. These steps form our proven process. It begins with establishing a ministry platform of Spiritual Renewal combined with Strategic Initiative and ends with every ministry aligned to the Great Commission.

Outreach, Evangelism and Discipleship are positioned as movements that thread through every ministry of the church, thereby making every ministry of the church a catalyst for reaching people and growing them in their faith.

Invigorates Action

When is the last time your church was position to confidently act and believe it would be successful?

With hope inspired, godly vision instilled and a Great Commission informed strategy, leaders are positioned to take action. We invigorate that action by challenging leaders and congregations to step out in faith in a proactive and timely way, and by deeply supporting leaders with ongoing coaching, consultation and training reinforcement.

When leaders and congregations faithfully and diligently work the process, the process works.

Our mission is to equip and empower leaders and congregations in finding who’s missing and bringing them home.

Jesus came to seek and save the lost. As the Father has sent Him, so He is sending us. We are to go and make disciples of the lost and the missing. The harvest is plentiful with fields ripe for harvest. We are to be His witnesses.

We promote finding the missing and bringing them home through outreach and evangelism. Once home, they are to be discipled in route to becoming true worshipers who worship the Father in spirit and truth. The Father is seeking such people to worship Him.

Hallelujah! Amen!
