Our Approach

Mission-Driven, Holistic & Practical, Accessible & Equitable, Sustainable & Innovative We implement a variety of resources and engagement to provide the best outcomes to congregations, including retreats and workshops, targeted interviews, environmental scans, and assessment tools.

Foundation360 Assessment

Our Foundation360 Assessment is the cornerstone of our work together. We conduct a thorough review of your congregation’s current realities and future aspirations, examining five key areas. This process helps us identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities for growth.

Financial Health – We analyze your church’s budget, giving patterns, and financial reserves to gain a clear picture of sustainability and areas of opportunity.

Facilities Utilization – Through on-site visits or virtual walkthroughs, we assess how effectively your physical spaces are used, identifying cost-saving measures, renovation needs, and potential for adaptive reuse.

Leadership & Governance – We interview key leaders, review organizational structures, and evaluate decision-making processes to ensure healthy governance practices are in place.

Ministry Alignment – By examining worship, outreach, Christian education, and other ministries, we evaluate how well existing programs reflect the church’s mission and community context.

Administrative Systems – We review current administrative workflows, data management, and technology platforms, highlighting gaps and areas for streamlining.

Outcome & Next Steps

Following this detailed assessment, we provide a comprehensive report outlining both strengths and growth areas. We then connect our findings to the broader menu of services, identifying which options might best address your specific needs. Whether it’s developing a new stewardship plan, exploring capital improvements, or implementing a church management system, the 360-Degree Assessment lays the groundwork for a customized engagement that propels your congregation toward a more sustainable and impactful future.
