Join 700+ churches that have engaged our Unstuck Process to make a greater Kingdom impact

The Unstuck Group serves churches with fewer than 200 in average attendance to more than 20,000—and everything in between.

Leaders tend to see stuckness first: There are tell-tale signs.

The church is growing and you don’t think the current staff structure can support the growth.
The team is burned out, underperforming or dysfunctional; something about the org structure feels off.
You find yourself managing more tensions than before: More meetings on the calendar, more service times, more direct reports, more requests for care.
The vision is feeling stale. It’s not rallying people to give time, talent and treasure like it used to.

Finding Momentum and Health

"Staff is healthier. We're continuing to make a greater impact. The number of people that we've had come to faith is up over 180%. As a ministry, we're more innovative and creative as missionaries to reach our culture."

Church Consulting

We don't love the term "church consulting" for what we do. (We wouldn't use it if it didn't help pastors find us!) What we really do is help pastors clarify where God's called the church to go, and how they will get there. We know churches can get stuck in any phase of the lifecycle if they ignore the warning signs for too long. That’s where we come in. We help pastors lead unstuck churches.

Six months after engaging our team for church consulting, 9 out of 10 pastors recommend us to another church—because they are seeing real results.

The best two days of strategic planning I've ever done

"Clear, helpful and practical, we did what I thought would take us months (create a new vision) in just two days. Impressive."

Unstuck is fantastic!

"This has been the most helpful consulting partnership we’ve had when it comes to structuring and strategizing for multiplication: clear, concise, and backed up by lots of data and experience."

We found ourselves at a place where we knew something wasn't quite right but we couldn't quite put our finger on it. We didn't want to wait until we got really stuck.

    Quarterly Unstuck Church Report

Most organizations start, grow, thrive, lose momentum, decline, and eventually end.

That doesn't have to be your church's story. Over more than 16 years, we've helped 700+ churches clarify the bold moves they believe God is calling them to make, and the strategies that will turn vision into action. 

We believe God desires every church to live out its purpose at the pinnacle of sustained health. You can lead an unstuck church. We can help you.
