What We Offer

A growing catalog of digital courses
The church is in a wilderness. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated trends that have been in motion for decades. We are committed to training church leaders for the challenges today’s ministries present, and it all begins with our suite of online trainings.
Consultants for today’s churches
Our cadre of top experts are ready to help your organization deal with its most difficult challenges and thrive. Whether it’s empty church buildings, churches and clergy locked in conflict, or struggles charting the way forward with online ministry, we are ready to help you find solutions.


Coaching and Coach Training
“Coaching is one of the most powerful tools for transformation available to the church today.”
– Rev. Rick McKinley
Director of Congregational Development
New England Conference of the United Methodist Church
Need we say more? Work with a coach, or get trained as a coach. Either way, it’s the best thing you can do to build your ministry.
