The Unstuck Process
Most organizations start, grow, thrive, lose momentum, decline… and eventually end. That doesn't have to be your church's story.
How it works
You engage our church consulting process in two phases.
Phase One · First 90 Days
Planning
We partner with you to create a comprehensive, customized ministry plan + the structure and systems to help you execute.
Assess
How are we doing?
Plan
Where are we going?
Structure
Who is doing what?
Phase Two · Month 4 & Beyond
Implementation + Follow-Through
We work with you through accountability and ongoing coaching as you lead change in your church. We help you follow through!
Execute
Put the plan into action.
Refresh
Measure your progress; update plans.
Our church had grown, but we hit a plateau and couldn't get past it.
"It felt like banging our heads against the wall. We had problems, but we couldn't see them. The Unstuck Group led us to concrete action steps and helped us discover what to do as a team."
The Planning Phase
You complete the Planning Phase in the first 3 months. It includes 3 on-site facilitated visits, as well as analysis and data-driven reports on ministry health and team health and performance.
The Implementation & Follow Through Phase
The Implementation & Follow Through Phase begins in the 4th month and includes consulting and accountability for the ministry team as you execute your strategic plan.
Get your church unstuck.
For the last 14 years, we've helped churches of all sizes—from under 200 to more than 20,000—clarify the vision (where they believe God's called them to go) and their strategies (how they are going to get there) through our church consulting process. We can help you navigate the future of your church leadership.
"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."
Carey Nieuwhof
"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."
Derwin Gray
"What a two-day experience for The Crossing! I strongly believe the overall experience with The Unstuck Group is a defining moment for us. The traction gained because of the collective process is HUGE."
Tim Celek
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.
Align your church leadership
This process will engage and align your leadership team around the same vision, strategies and clear next steps. Our goal is not to tell you what to do or who to be, but to help you identify the obstacles and opportunities you have as a church body, and develop a strategic plan to accomplish your vision.

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 in the future, and how you'll get there-and then we coach you as you lead change.
