New Approach, Same Purpose
March 2, 2012
Thank you for visiting our new web site. It is our hope that the new look and the presentation of our ministry is appealing to you. We invite you to comment on our web site and any part of our ministry by going to our contact page and leaving a comment.
Our ministry, coaching/consulting with churches, has not changed. We have made some adjustments in how we go about approaching church coaching/consulting. 
We have prioritized three coaching/consulting areas--preparation (a move toward leadership readiness), leadership (a move toward the search and calling of a pastor), and ministry (a move toward church health which includes coaching/consulting in how a church experiences intervention of the church life-cycle). These priorities are the result of the experiences with dozens of churches and pastors.

Church Health and Renewal
March 2, 2012
We are excited about what God is doing world-wide in developing healthy churches. Many churches are experiencing a need for renewal. Those familiar with the church life-cycle know that when a church beings to plateau or decline intervention is necessary for the church to reverse the trends.
MinistryConnect is committed to helping churches through coaching/consulting experience renewed vitality and growth. Many pastors and church leaders are not equiped or trained to lead the church through this renewal process. If you are interested in having professional assistance in leading the church through this process, contact MinistryConnect by e-mail at verlyn@ministryconnect.net or by phone at 573.690.5562.

Purpose:
The foundation of healthy partnerships between ministry leaders and churches is complete, comprehensive information disclosure from both entities. Thus, one of the reasons for the Minister Profile, TheSHAPE and the Church Profile. The Minister Profile, TheSHAPE and Church Profile are designed to complement each other in such a way that real matching can occur.

It is also recommended that once a candidate is being seriously considered by a church that the church expect the candidate to take TheSHAPE. A description of the TheSHAPE can be found on this web site.
A paper version of the Minister Profile is included in the Pastor Search Guide.
