If you’re looking for solutions for your faith community or staff,
you’ve found them!
This is the only ministry consulting firm (not a marketing firm) with customized solutions working specifically with faith communities with 5-15 staff members.
As a pastor myself, I’ve been there and have struggled with all of these issues too.
Every congregation I have served has been frustrated by all of the competition for people’s attention and attendance, no matter what day of the week or time of day things are scheduled.
Every congregation I have served has had it’s share of ‘alligators.’ What do I mean by ‘alligators?’ These are the different personalities and behaviors of people that clash with the mission and ministry of your faith community and make life very difficult for pastors, spiritual leaders and other members.
In all honesty, were there ever moments when you’ve wanted to
kick those alligators out?
Sometimes those people can act like the bad apple and ruin things for everyone.
And, it's not always just "bad" attitudes or behaviors, but attitudes and behaviors that just feed into changing the culture of your community.
When it's more convenient or socially acceptable to "skip out" every now and then but that becomes more and more frequent.
It can get to the point where the community isn't supporting itself, physically, emotionally or financially!
Have you ever felt the faith community’s finances were a heavy weight on your shoulders?
We understand completely. We've been there too. And, we've overcome.
Finally! Some good news…
Aflame Ministry Consulting can show you new approaches to:
- Respond to and work with ‘alligators’ so you can experience a more positive result.
- Developing a mission and ministry that helps draw people and finances to your faith community.
What will this mean for you?
* A lot less stress
* More harmony
* More of your mission and ministry
lived out within and beyond your faith community
