Small Church Pastor
Coaching, Consulting, and Resources for Pastors of Smaller Churches.
Consulting
Copyright, Dave Jacobs 2012
A consultant functions much like a coach to the organization.
Whereas a coach relates to an individual, the consultant relates
to the church board, governing body, or leadership
team.
A consultant comes in when a church
feels stuck or in need of a fresh set of eyes to help them walk
through a challenging situation. The consultant is someone
objective and
experienced.
A consultant provides honest feedback, practical ideas, and
resources that are tailor made for the current size of the church.
Reasons why a church might bring in a consultant:

“I have known Dave Jacobs since his
high school days in San Jose. You will
find him dedicated, a man of integrity,
and a treasured mentor in ministry. He
is not out to get rich or build a name for
himself, he just loves the Lord and
wants to help others with a kindred
spirit. I can recommend him without
reservation!”

"For several years now I have had the privilege
of knowing Dave Jacobs. Not only does Dave
coach my personal calling on a monthly
basis, but I have had the joy of introducing
Dave to other pastors in my region and with
each contact the results have brought a new
sense of hope and direction. What I love
about Dave is that his ministry is gimmick
free. Dave is real and his ministry is real.
Dave helps leaders plan to finish well and he
also helps a them leave behind that unique
contribution into God's Kingdom they were
destined to deposit."
