“The stakes were high as we were entering a season of pastor transition, our beloved pastor who had led us for 40 years was planning to retire. The succession planning process and pastor search assistance provided by Flourish allowed us to go deeper into the qualities and characteristics of what we were looking for in our next pastor. The process allowed us to gain the clarity and consensus needed to help up shape specific questions for future interviews and deepen the comparison of our top candidates. We found our time with the Flourish Navigator so valuable and practical. I would not want to work on such an important task without the use of these valuable tools and personalized coaching.”

“The center of our mission as leaders is to encourage and equip flourishing disciples. Flourish is committed to providing the help we need to grow as both disciples and leaders. Flourish’s coaching certification provides dynamic and powerful practical training to help a leader grow in developing people and strengthening a congregation. I am personally grateful for this resource, and I only wish I had experienced this training earlier in my ministry.”

“Our 250 year old church was on the verge of extinction and I knew I might be one of its last pastors. We knew we needed help, but didn’t think we could afford it. Through a process that included training, an onsite consultation and coaching our church experienced revitalization. Over the next few years our church of 50 people saw 20 adults come to know the Lord, we had kids in our children’s ministry once again, and there was excitement about how God wanted to use our church in the future. I have now retired and the church was able to bring in another full-time pastor to continue the work that was launched.”

“Flourish helped us as a team to clarify our strengths and weaknesses, and drew us closer together as a staff as we discussed our future as a church. Our Flourish Navigator did a great job of group coaching our team through specific issues of communication, role clarity and measures of success. I recommend Flourish to help your ministry thrive in trying times.”

“​​After 40 years of vibrant ministry with our founding co-pastors, our church needed to make a transition to a new season of ministry. Flourish walked alongside us providing training and coaching to help us navigate pastoral transition, establish a concrete vision for the future, and reorganize our staff and elders to focus on our most strategic priorities.”

“Working with my Flourish coach the past year provided me with a lifeline of new ministry resources, spiritual guidance, emotional support, and leadership encouragement as I was leading through a time of pastoral transition. The coaching was tailored to fit me, our congregation, and our staff during an unprecedented season of ministry and leadership needs in our church.”
