helping church leaders reflect on where you are, where you want to get to and how to get there
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.
mentoring
Senior input for pastors and network leaders supported by self-assessment surveys and analysis
“I’m so thankful for the invaluable mentoring I’ve received from Reach – not only the generously downloaded wealth of knowledge in our conversations but also the help to develop my ability to navigate complicated leadership scenarios.”
“Reach Ministries has tonnes of gold. Gave me some more clarity on how to work through output thinking. Helpful to tease out why an area of ministry is/isn’t working and trying to work out how to get it moving again. Also really brilliant stuff on helping teams – I’ve already used – and on how to follow up on giving.”
“Reach listened carefully to where we’ve got to, asked sharp and insightful questions and helped us to be clear in our thinking – repeatedly brought us back to biblical principles.”
“The Sherlock Holmes of church life! Quickly and accurately diagnosing structural and cultural issues in church and then providing fascinating concepts to help church development.”
“It was a really helpful conversation. Great wisdom on growth issues and staffing issues. The Reach consultant was pastoral and encouraging and pointed me to some helpful resources.”
“The 3 mentoring sessions were hugely valuable. We are looking towards setting a 5 year vision for the church and over the course of our time Reach helped us develop our vision and strategy – repeatedly encouraging and ‘for us’. This meant when they rightly and helpfully challenged us at times it was heard like a father urging us on that our lives and ministry would be worthy of God (to slightly rephrase 1 Thessalonians 2:12).”

Comprehensive and careful ministry and mission health check for a church or network
“Fantastic to have a fresh pair of eyes look at what is going on.”
“I’ve really appreciated having someone outside be genuinely interested in the ministry here, without trying to get something out of us, just wanting to come alongside, help us to see what God is doing and encourage us in it. Apart from all the other good things if that alone is what we take out of it, it will have been really valuable.”
“The report that came out of the process was superb. A really really strong piece of work. There is loads in it, with very helpful practical suggestions, which in time we’ll work through as an eldership and staff team.”
“Very graciously handled. Winsome, warm and insightful.”
