Small Church Pastor

A consultant functions much like a coach to the organization. Whereas a coach relates to an individual, the consultant relates to the church board, governing body, or leadership team.

A consultant comes in when a church feels stuck or in need of a fresh set of eyes to help them walk through a challenging situation. The consultant is someone objective and experienced.

A consultant provides honest feedback, practical ideas, and resources that are tailor-made for the current size and specific challenges of the church.

Reasons why a church might bring in a consultant:

• When they feel stuck.
  
• When considering a new direction.
  
• When they need a fresh set of eyes.
  
• When considering their first hire.
  
• When considering their first church plant.
  
• If momentum or morale is bad.
  
• When they are in decline.
  
• When they have plateaued.
  
• When nothing seems to be working.
  
• If there is a need for someone to mediate conflict.
  
• When bringing in a new pastor.
  
• When determining the pay-package for their pastor or 
  staff member.
  
• If they are a new church plant.
  
• When faced with a crisis.
  
• When wanting to do a church diagnostic test.
  
• When considering getting their first building.
• When the leadership feels they're running out of ideas.
• When preparing to set new goals for the up-coming year.
• When faced with the likelyhood of needing to fire or lay-off someone.
• When they have a mutiny on their hands.

We could never afford a church consultant.

Yes you can! Because my consulting happens over the phone via conference calls, the cost is kept to a minimum. Even the smallest of churches can now afford a church consultant.
