Assignments

These examples give a flavour of the kind of church consultancy assignments carried out during 2023. Time involvement can range from less than one day to ten or more spread over some months. 

I advise a wide range of denominations including Church of England, other Anglican churches, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, independent and new churches, etc.
 

Consultancy

  • Various independent, external assessments of leadership and church operations, communication, resourcing and structures for (on the whole) larger churches.
  • Advice on issues of strategy and governance, often in a growing church where structures or plant no longer provide sufficient support or resource.
  • Reviews of major diocesan projects and departments reporting at senior staff or board level.

 

One-to-one work consultancy

  • The offer of an external perspective to Ministers on their present or future ministries, diary planning, email management, etc.
  • 'Black bin sack days', seeking to sort out clergy desks and studies and provide input on principles for how to keep desk and floor clear in future.
  • Advice to individual Ministers preparing for interview for new posts, appointing and working with staff, and other operational issues.
