How Can We Help You?
Coaching
Every world class athlete has a coach. World class leaders need coaches, too. How would having a personal coach help you? Many pastors, especially those in small churches, do not have anyone to talk to, to bounce ideas off of, or to ask advice from. By developing a personal relationship with the pastor, we become a sounding board, a mentor, and a coach. We want to be your friend in ministry and in life!
Consulting
As David often says, “Small adjustments to our course can lead to big changes in our results.” Most churches just need small adjustments to help them break through barriers and go to the next level. It might be something as simple as implementing a new system or tweaking an existing one. We do not have a “one size fits all” mentality in our approach to consulting. Every church is unique and has it own set of needs. Let’s talk about how we can help your church get better!
Preaching and Teaching
David is a powerful communicator and has preached and taught all over the world. He is a regular keynote speaker for conferences, a guest speaker in many different churches, and a teacher in the classroom. He will work with your team to customize exactly the message that your church, conference or group needs. David has also taught on many different aspects of leadership in corporate environments. Many churches like to have David come and preach on a Sunday and then do some leadership training for their team during the week. How can we serve your group?
