Sometimes we find that the issues holding us back in ministry are obvious to others while they remain oblivious to us. Our consultants help you evaluate your blind spots and address problem areas in your day-to-day operations. Especially now as we navigate the impact of the global pandemic.
Effective planning today guides our effectiveness tomorrow.
Our overall goal for Consulting at 95Network is to help your ministry gain clarity in your mission and vision so that one day you can pass a healthy and vibrant ministry to the next generation.
From our very own VisionDay to our partner relationships with the folks like Unstuck Group and Malphurs Group, we are committed to helping you develop deeper, strategic planning processes that provide a structured path for church growth.
We’ve found that taking the time to honestly evaluate your progress in fulfilling the mission and vision of your ministry helps you move closer towards accomplishing your plan instead of just staying busy. It’s paramount that you bring in a non-biased facilitator in order to keep you from slipping into being an “insider focused” ministry. This quote by Micheal Moore really sums it up:
I thought Dale Sellers was excellent. I didn’t know there were people (consultants) that specialized in small town churches. These are exciting times that we’re living in. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do through all of us. What a fantastic day! Thank you for bringing us all together and helping us to vision the future. God is on the move…
Clarify your vision. Create a plan. Take one day to ensure a stronger future for your ministry.
Every church needs a vision for the future. You need to know where you’re headed and what the plan is for getting there. In small and midsize churches, however, the everyday responsibilities of ministry can easily distract from important tasks like vision-casting, planning, and even leading.
Our VisionDay event is a deep dive into the mission and health of your church with a 95Network coach committed to your success and ready for a lifetime partnership. Even after the VisionDay event ends, your team and your coach keep in contact and stay accountable to your plan, giving you the structure and focus you need to keep your vision at the forefront of your ministry.
M2 will work with you and your leadership to:
– Coach teams to execute and accomplish your Vision Day plan.
– Implement efficient and productive meetings that are the backbone to moving your vision forward.
– Ensure you have the right people on your team to achieve your vision.
– Develop the “next steps” to accomplish your vision.
– Implement an accountability system to ensure you achieve your Vision Day plans.
– Measure the results of your plan and ensure you are meeting your goals.
– Provide templates to run efficient and productive meetings, develop next steps, and measure results.

Our goal is come alongside you for one year. At the end of one year, we believe you will be ready to continue implementing your vision on your own.

VisionDay is not just an event. The heart behind it is to connect your church with someone who cares deeply about your ministry. Here are 5 reasons VisionDay is valuable:

I often say “you don’t know what you don’t know” and what’s worse, “you don’t even know you don’t know it!”. So not knowing what we didn’t know, we invited Jason Allison to meet with some of the leadership of Virginia Hills Church for a VisionDay; a time of reflection, assessment and planning. We were encouraged and challenged, and to be honest, surprised by what we discovered about ourselves. And that discovery has given us a clear and definite path forward, so we can make the most of what God is already doing.

VisionDay has helped us clarify our overall vision and helped us develop steps to relaunch our Sunday expression. Our leaders have said on multiple occasions that “VisionDay was and is a game changer for our church.” As the Lead Pastor of Landmark Church, I can’t over emphasize the encouragement that I’ve gotten from Jason. Any church that’s looking to reignite their services, vision, structure, and systems would be delighted in the results that come out of a VisionDay experience.
