Church consultants can be very valuable and effective for churches if they are used well. Today we discuss when to get one, what to look for , ad what the outcome should be.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
- If a church is having a consultant come in and the senior pastor isn’t involved, that’s a red flag.
- The primary benefit of a church consultant is having some look at the church with outside eyes.
- Church consultants can bring to your church new ideas.

- Looking through outside eyes

- Getting our head out of the sand
- Re-starting the vision cycle and dreaming again
- Rejecting the status quo
