Who do churches turn to for assistance when navigating their way through the whitewater of our current ministry contexts? Every week there are churches and denominations engaging this very question. Simultaneously, we regularly receive questions about how to become competent and effective church consultants.

After more than 20 years of consulting experience, we at Pinnacle are positioned to give our most robust answer to these questions yet. Our consultant training design team is ready to offer Foundations Of Church Consulting, equipping practitioners with the skills and competencies needed to enter the ministry of church consulting. The consultants of Pinnacle Leadership Associates are trained and experienced practitioners, capable trainers and mentors for those drawn toward this ministry. Reach out to Pinnacle Consulting Coordinator, Dan Holloway, with any questions.
