CHURCH CONSULTANCY

When might a consultancy be helpful for your Church OR ORGANISATION?

• When a church/orgn wants to review its health and direction - Vision/Mission/Value/Goal Statements.

• When a church/orgn is going through a period of change - between pastors, growth, decline or other change

• When assistance is required in times of tension/difficulty/crisis.

• When a church/orgn has lost its outreach edge with the local community or its mission is drifting.

• When a church/orgn is struggling to raise up new leaders or recruit, or a Staff/Leadership Team/Board review.

• When a church/orgn chooses to have a pro-active health check. Many good churches/organisations do this.

You can request a free church health checklist in the contact to help you reflect on your church's health.

• Ian uses a proven, evidence-based process that is used used by churches from a wide variety of denominations across Australia (see Ian's book The Impact of Church Consultancy that shows how churches that had a consultancy were still significantly impacted in their growth and health five years after the consultancy).

 

HOW DOES IAN WORK?​

Ian works flexibly across various modes. For example, Ian could complete some, or possibly all of the consultancy online. This saves on travel costs. Some situations may just require a two hours meeting with the church leadership. Others will need a longer process.

Objectives are always set by the local church leadership - not the consultant. The aim of the consultancy process is to help the local church decide on its best course of action. The consultant's role is facilitating, guiding, listening and information gathering, communicating and recommending.

Basically there are three phases to a consultancy: setting objectives in collaboration with the Leadership Team, gathering information through interviews and surveys, and reporting back with recommendations that link to the original objectives. Some training for the Leadership Team may be involved. To assist with implementation of the consultancy recommendations, coaching sessions for the Senior Pastor are included in packages.
