When you’re close to the day-to-day work of ministry, it’s easy to miss patterns, blind spots, or opportunities that someone else can see more clearly. That’s where consulting can help.
Our consultants work with you to evaluate your current situation, identify obstacles that may be holding your church back, and help you build a clear plan for moving forward. The goal isn’t to replace your leadership—it’s to bring fresh perspective that helps you lead with greater clarity and confidence.
Healthy churches rarely drift into strength by accident. Effective planning today guides our effectiveness tomorrow.
Our goal is to help your ministry gain clarity on its mission and vision so that, one day, you can pass a healthy, vibrant ministry to the next generation. We are committed to helping you develop deeper, strategic planning processes that provide a structured path for this kind of church growth.
We’ve found that taking the time to honestly evaluate your progress in fulfilling your ministry’s mission and vision helps you move closer to accomplishing your plan rather than just staying busy. It’s paramount that you bring in a non-biased facilitator to keep you from slipping into an “insider-focused” ministry. This quote by Michael Moore sums it up well:
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. In just one day, ensure a stronger future for your ministry.
Every church needs a vision for the future—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.
VisionDay is a focused day spent evaluating the mission, vision, and overall health of your church with a 95Network coach. By the end of the day, you’ll have a clear plan and practical next steps. And the conversation doesn’t stop there: your coach continues to check in with your team as you work to keep that vision at the front of your ministry.
M2 will work with you and your leadership to:
– Coach teams to execute and accomplish your VisionDay 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 VisionDay 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.
– Help you make any changes necessary to continue to move your vision forward.
M2 provides a roadmap to help you get where you want to go.
Our goal is to 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, equipped with the “best practices” needed to keep your organization moving forward.

VisionDay creates a dedicated space for your leadership team to step back, evaluate the health of your church, and clarify your next steps alongside a 95Network coach. Here are five ways churches benefit from the process:
In this episode, Pastor Mark Pritchard shares the positive results of going through the VisionDay strategic planning process:

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.
