Our mission is to help pastors lead unstuck churches.
We help pastors grow healthy churches by guiding them through experiences to align vision, strategy, team and action. With every tool and consulting process we develop, our priority is to help churches help people meet and follow Jesus.
Serving pastors has always been our story.
In 2008, Tony Morgan started coaching pastors across the country after having served in senior ministry leadership roles for 14 years. Through these coaching relationships, a theme became clear: Pastors felt stuck.
That first year Tony was able to serve 10 churches, but word started spreading, and more churches requested help getting unstuck than he could serve alone.
He believed he would serve the Kingdom best by building a team and building a process.
The Unstuck Group has since served 700 churches and counting.
