Trans•form•ation

Our Goal

Tapping the potential of transition times. Helping churches renew after the loss of a pastor. Assessing the congregation’s strengths and weaknesses. Helping reset healthy patterns for operations and relations. Finding satisfaction in preparing the church for its next pastor.

“Thus says the Lord who makes a path in the mighty waters…
‘Behold I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?’”
(Isaiah 43: 16, 19)
