Mainline pastors, laypeople and judicatory staffers are relearning how to do church. They're seeking new models that are faithful, impactful and financially sustainable.


My consulting services equip local churches to thrive without full-time clergy. I also help their support networks be effective.

  • Equipping pastors & laity for new roles
  • Repurposing assets: human, financial & physical
  • Can be led virtually with in-person components / options

Workshops

  • Design to Thrive covers how to find and launch a sustainable part-time ministry model that fits your setting
  • Changing Mindsets removes mental roadblocks and enables new thinking for successful part-time ministry
  • Open to proposals for new workshop topics 

Keynotes
