Your Church Renewed for Today’s World
I believe in the local church’s power to transform lives. But meaningful growth requires both heart and strategy. Over 16 years of full-time experience in vocational ministry has led me to that conviction.
Seven of those years were spent revitalizing a church in Western New York with an average attendance of 20. By God’s grace and some purposeful steps, I watched it grow into a multi-generational church with an average of 80. We saw as many as 100 people on Easter Sunday. Are those earth-shattering numbers? Maybe not. But I believe good, healthy and sustainable growth isn’t explosive but gradual and intentional.
I currently pastor a church of 100 in the same area, and I love it. My heart is to help local churches and their leaders thrive. It would be my joy to work alongside you to help you congregation whatever the shape, size, and style realize their unique calling. Our consultation process is personal, in-depth, and tailored to bring out the best in your church and its mission.
Hear me cleary when I say this. God did not place your church in your neighborhood by accident. It would be my honor to help you and your church realize it’s unique God-given potential.

1. On-Site Visit to Learn Your Story
We start with an on-site visit to get to know your church's story—its history, values, and vision. By understanding where you’ve come from, we can help you chart a path that honors your roots while moving forward in fresh, exciting ways.
2. Facility Audit
Your church’s physical space matters. We’ll do a detailed facility audit, assessing everything from flow and functionality to accessibility and aesthetics, helping you make the most of your space as a welcoming, impactful environment for your community.
3. Demographic & Psychographic Community Studies
Who is your church reaching—and who could you be reaching? We analyze the local community, considering both demographics (age, income, etc.) and psychographics (lifestyle, interests, values) to help you connect in ways that are relevant, relatable, and impactful.
4. Secret Church Guest Survey
We send a “secret guest” to experience your church firsthand, from parking lot to pulpit. You’ll get honest feedback on how welcoming and accessible your church feels to newcomers, with actionable insights for creating a more inviting atmosphere.
