Consultant Directory
Frequently churches are unsure about how to apply the information they have
about their communities. The Church Consultant Directory is a referral system providing
information on leaders with a passion for local churches, successful field experience,
and knowledge about a specific chosen ministry paradigm. You can register and have
yourself listed as available to perform church consulting, or churches can use this
service to find consultants in their geographic area or consultants with expertise
in their area of ministry need.

Demographic Reports
Your community is changing every day as the people that live within it also
change. Income patterns fluctuate, family composition changes, and lifestyle priorities
of residents alter. The local church and other missional entities are often left
to wrestle with this quick pace of change without a clear sense as to what is actually
occurring within their community. Present changes are not the only concern; you
also need to know how your community will change next year or even five years from
now. Find all this and more with our comprehensive, no-cost demographic report service.
When you submit a request, you will normally receive your report within 24 hours.
