HOW WE SERVE
Three Situations We Help Churches Through
Find the one that sounds like yours. Each starts with a conversation.
30 minutes. Complimentary. Confidential.
Need just one hour? Book an Advisory Hour.
Growing Forward
WHEN momentum is building
Vision outpacing the current structure?
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Your best people are burning out
Every question still lands on the pastor
Growth keeps creating new problems
Good ideas stall after the meeting
HOW WE HELP

Integrating software and AI into your ministry operations
Safeguarding people and the church with clear policies
Prioritizing what to fund first as you grow
A ministry that no longer depends on one person.
Turning the Corner
WHEN ministry is at a turning point
Has growth stalled, or is a transition coming?
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Attendance and giving have leveled off or slipped
Guests visit, but few young families stay
A leadership change is ahead, or just happened, with no clear plan for what's next
HOW WE HELP

Leading a stewardship review: fund, cut, or pause
Creating a path from first visit to serving
Assessing what to start, stop, and strengthen

BARNA GROUP, 2019
A new season, handled with care.
Navigating Challenges
WHEN SOMETHING CANNOT WAIT
Facing conflict, a crisis, or a hard decision?
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Something happened, and people are talking
People are taking sides
A decision could cost money, members, or trust
HOW WE HELP
A discreet first call to sort out what happens next
Covering the gap after a sudden departure
Triaging spending in a sudden shortfall
Facilitating conversations when people take sides
Defining who decides what, in writing
Weighing decisions by reputation, risk, and resources
A clear decision, and next steps you can trust.
ADVISORY HOUR
Need an Hour, Not an Engagement?
Bring one question, decision, or draft. We will work through it with you in one focused session.
One hour. One focus. Confidential.
Denominations, Conventions, Fellowships, and Networks
We shape our work around how your churches are organized and the authority already in place, whether they are connected through an association, state convention, jurisdiction, episcopal district, annual conference, district council, district, region, diocese, presbytery, or synod. Every partnership begins with a Discovery Call.
HOW IT WORKS
Three Simple Steps
1. Discovery Call
30 minutes. Complimentary. Confidential.
2. A Clear Read
What needs attention first, in writing.
3. Work Your Team Can Use
We shape the engagement to your season and budget, and every recommendation is built for your team to put into practice.
Your pastor and board keep every decision.
Not Sure Which One Fits?
You do not need to know. Tell us what is happening.
30 minutes. Complimentary. Confidential.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before You Reach Out
What does it cost?
Fees are set by scope, not by the hour, and agreed in writing before any work begins.
What does working with you involve?
It begins with a 30-minute Discovery Call. From there, we shape the work to your season. You choose how involved we are, and your leaders keep every decision.
Will this replace our own decisions or authority?
No. We advise; your pastor, board, and congregation decide. Our work serves your existing leadership and your tradition's polity.
How long does this take?
It depends on the scope. We agree on a timeline before work begins.
What happens to our information?
Everything you share is confidential. We use it only to serve your church and do not share it without your permission. The findings and documents we produce belong to your church.
How do we know how much help we need?
You do not need to know yet. On the Discovery Call, we will recommend a level based on your team's capacity and what the work requires, and you can adjust it as the engagement unfolds.
What if it is not working partway through?
Tell us. We review progress with your leaders at set points. If the work is not serving your church, we will adjust the scope, the approach, or the level of involvement, or agree together to bring it to a close.
Will this feel corporate?
No. Churches are not businesses. We work in the language your leaders use, within the ministry responsibilities and stewardship realities your church already carries.
Do you work with every tradition, and remotely?
Yes. We learn your polity and honor your tradition's distinctives rather than imposing one model. Most work can be done remotely, with in-person time when it serves the engagement.
