HELPING CHURCHS
TRANSITION WELL

We work with elders and pastors in your church to facilitate a healthy handoff.

Who We Work With

Our Process

1+ Years Before the Transition

We create a plan for the transition process well before it starts.

We develop bench strength by helping you identify and develop potential leaders so you’re prepared when the time comes. We also begin identifying potential external candidates and foster relationships

30-90 Days Before the Transition

It’s vital to clearly communicate the change to the leadership team, staff, and congregation.

In this season, we help you manage the changes, pastoral search, and questions that will arise within the staff and congregation after the announcement is made.

0-7 Months Post Transition

This season is about transitioning leadership and getting the new pastor acclimated to the team and church.

We help facilitate the knowledge transfer, team development, and other high-priority action items

7-15 Months Post Transition

At this stage, the leader begins to implement their vision, priorities, and team adjustments. There is a significant risk here of momentum stalling, requiring new energy to drive future vision.

We provide coaching and team development.

15-24 Months Post Transition

If the leadership team has been able to develop a healthy culture and a strong strategic plan, this is when the church typically finds its new stride and begins to accelerate.

We continue the journey by helping ensure alignment and execution.

No Cookie-Cutter Templates

Although we have a process we walk churches through, we realize that every congregation is unique. 

Our first priority is always to understand your specific circumstances and challenges, then create a tailored plan to fit your needs.

Testimonials

  • Our organization went through a major transition, merging two boards of directors as one entity. Mark guided us the entire way over the past two years. His knowledge, experience and wisdom was indispensable. We honestly could not have done this without his support.

  • My husband and I went through a significant transition this past year, stepping away from a senior pastor role of 17 years. While it was remarkably challenging, Mark’s walking alongside me allowed us to walk through the hardest parts feeling ready and equipped to make the transition.

  • I recently stepped into a CEO role of a multinational non profit. My ability to be successful and continue to grow into this role has been significantly supported by Mark’s coaching and experience in the international non-profit role.
