Congregational coaching testimonials
Here, in the words of church leaders, are some of the ways I have helped congregations navigate change well.
“Laura led a retreat for my congregation shortly after I had announced my resignation after ten years of ministry there, and I think her wisdom, care, and presence helped me make a healthy exit and helped the church transition well and fruitfully. I commend her to you!” — Rebecca, Pastor in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
“Laura worked closely with our church during our time without a pastor to transition us to a healthy place before starting a search for a new pastor. She did not come to us with a set agenda, but rather she observed and listened to our specific issues, had the insight to distill and formulate those into actionable items, and lead us to address them. Once we felt the transition period was completed, she trained a newly elected search committee. Laura showed tremendous strength, flexibility, and perseverance during her time with us.” — Shawn, Lay Leader in a Cooperative Baptist Fellowship congregation
“Rev. Laura was an invaluable resource to us in the process of preparing to call our next pastor. She consistently asked the right questions to spark both self-reflection and holy imagination. Her outstanding organization and excellent coaching skills helped us create a navigable road map from where we were to where we wanted to go. Her services were well-worth the investment!” — Melissa, Senior Pastor in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
