Consulting
With over 25 years of experience in church ministry (15 years of which were spent as a Senior Pastor), I am passionate about helping leaders and teams of churches, charities, and Christian organisations build thriving ministries and reach their full potential.
CONSULTING SERVICES
-
A strong, clear brand and impactful communication are essential for attracting new members and deepening connections with your current ones. I can help your church develop a brand identity that reflects your mission and values, ensuring your message resonates both within the church and beyond. Together, we’ll create a comprehensive communication strategy that leverages print media, online platforms, website, social media, and other digital tools. This approach will amplify your church’s outreach, achieve deeper engagement, and strengthen your presence both locally and beyond, ensuring that your message reaches and impacts the hearts of those you serve.
-
Your Sunday service is the heart of your church's connection with the congregation. It should be a dynamic, Spirit-led experience that nurtures worship to God, growth, and community. I provide comprehensive service planning consultation to support you at every stage, from initial planning to seamless execution and thorough review. Together, we will ensure each part of your service is engaging, impactful, and aligned with your church's vision and values. Additionally, we can focus on crafting relevant sermon series plans and other key elements to enhance the overall worship experience.
-
Navigating conflicts and challenging situations within your church requires sensitivity and expertise. I provide compassionate guidance and practical solutions to address interpersonal disputes, misunderstandings, and sensitive issues with grace and wisdom.
I can support your ministry or organisation with conflict resolution and navigating difficult conversations with a view to fostering reconciliation, healing, and a spirit of unity so that all can flourish.
-
When it comes to discipleship, some churches either have no roadmap or if they do, they’re still working with the equivalent of an A-Z where there is not always an easily identifiable or clearly stated route forward. I can help you design a clear and intentional discipleship pathway that guides people on their journey of faith. By mapping out specific steps and milestones, we'll ensure that every member of your congregation understands their next steps and feels empowered to grow in their relationship with Christ. A dynamic system like this will develop spiritual maturity, equip believers for ministry, and inspire a passion for living out and sharing the gospel in everyday life.
-
Cultivate teams and gatherings where everyone feels a sense of belonging and connection with God and each other. I can help your church reflect the beautiful diversity of God's creation by cultivating a welcoming and inclusive environment. Together, we can develop strategies to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, or cultural background, feels valued and empowered to contribute their unique gifts. Our collaborative efforts will help you:
Embrace intergenerational ministry
Celebrate intercultural diversity
Develop welcoming practices
Empower diverse leadership, including women and those from global majority backgrounds.
-
Effective financial management allows your church or organisation to focus on its mission without worrying about the numbers. I can help your church gain clarity and control over finances through a collaborative approach. Together, we will:
Review your current financial processes and identify areas for improvement
Develop a sustainable giving strategy that allows for long-term growth
Implement best practices for budgeting, accounting, and reporting
Uncover opportunities for cost savings and operational efficiency, maximising your resources
Ensure your church's financial health and stability, allowing you to concentrate on what truly matters.
-
Revitalise your ministries to attract new members, boost engagement, and develop innovative programmes that align with your mission. I offer strategic guidance and support to infuse new energy into your ministries, ensuring they remain vibrant, relevant, and impactful. By conducting a thorough health audit, I assess both spiritual vitality and operational effectiveness, identifying areas for growth and enhancement to maximise your ministry's reach.
-
Optimise the administrative and operational aspects of your church. I assist in creating efficient systems, streamlining processes, and enhancing resource management, ensuring your church operates smoothly and effectively. Let me help you improve your church's functionality so you can focus more on fulfilling your God-given mission.

A thriving church is built on a healthy team. I can help you create a performance management system that empowers your staff to excel.

Let's work together to cultivate a culture of excellence and achieve remarkable results.
-
Launching a new initiative requires the right resources and expertise. If your church is looking to start something new but lacks internal capacity or specific skills, I may be able to provide additional short-term support to ensure your project's success.
From initial planning to execution and evaluation, I can offer project management or tailored assistance to supplement your team's efforts.
-
Discover the transformative power of servant leadership and be equipped to cultivate a thriving, spiritually-connected environment. Let me guide you in harnessing biblical principles to lead with integrity and inspire your church family.

We can’t manufacture the tangible presence of God but we can create environments to welcome the ministry and presence of the Holy Spirit. I can help you explore how to raise the spiritual temperature of your church by deepening corporate prayer, worship, and the flow of the prophetic - as well as the release of other spiritual gifts and the training of ministry teams. My goal is to help you develop a church that is a spiritual hotbed for people to encounter the life-changing presence and power of God.
-
Ensuring that staff and volunteers are effectively engaged and own the vision and mission is crucial for the success of any church or organisation. I can carry out organisational reviews to assess roles, responsibilities, and team dynamics. I can also help you overcome volunteering barriers so that you can increase engagement and harness the incredible power of volunteers.
-
Building a strong, cohesive team is vital to a church's or organisation's effectiveness. I'm passionate about helping staff and volunteer teams achieve this and I can work with you to build a cohesive team culture that enhances communication, trust, and shared purpose.
Whether it's a day retreat, team meeting, or even a dedicated morning, I can facilitate engaging discussions and training that will help you identify your values and unleash the power of a thriving team. I'll equip you with the insights you need to foster a culture of collaboration, motivation, and high performance which propels your ministry forward.
