Pre-COVID, the Effective Church Group was heavily involved in on-site church consultations across the nation. At one point, I spent almost 200 days a year on the road, working with churches across the U.S. to help them transition from stagnation to growth. The pandemic, however, changed all of that, leading to a shift in how consultations are conducted. Like many others, we’ve adapted to fewer on-site consultations, but our commitment to impactful, customized church growth strategies remains unwavering.
Recently, I had a conversation with a pastor and church board about what a consultation with the Effective Church Group entails. One thing that sets us apart is that we don’t operate from a standard template during consultations. Instead, we utilize a refined data gathering instrument that we’ve honed over 30 years to ensure we collect all the necessary information for informed recommendations. 📊
But that’s just the beginning. Our approach involves spending several days with the church, its leadership, and the community. We delve deep into understanding the people, their vision, leadership styles, congregational culture, and the community’s dynamics. This immersive process allows us to identify and build effective bridges between the church and the community. 🌍🤝
During these days, we interview people, observe the congregation at work and play, and watch staff and leadership interactions. This comprehensive approach enables us to create a strategic plan tailored to helping the church move from where it is to maximizing its potential. 🌟
Trust is built through thorough understanding and personalized strategies, and that’s exactly what we aim to provide. If you’re looking to transform your church and maximize its impact, let’s start the journey together.
