Coaching, consulting, and resources for pastors of smaller churches

Small Church Pastor

Coaching, Consulting, and Resources for Pastors of Smaller Churches.

Consulting

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:

When they feel stuck.
When considering a new
direction.
When they need a fresh set of
eyes.
When considering their first
hire.
When considering their first
church plant.
If momentum or morale is bad.
When they are in decline.
When they have plateaued.
When nothing seems to be
working.
If there is a need for someone
to mediate conflict.
When bringing in a new pastor.
When determining the pay-
package for their pastor or
staff member.
If they are a new church plant.
When faced with a crisis.
When wanting to do a church

audit/diagnostic.

move your church from where it is to
where it wants to be. To find out more

“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!”
-Bryce Jessup, President,
William Jessup University

"Dave is one of the most resourceful
team leaders we have on the regional
team for church planting in the Vineyard.
He produces workshops, seminars, and
personal coaching in spiritual formation,
marriage enrichment, and specific
church growth issues. If you work with
Dave, you get a holistic coach with
detailed experience."
-Randy Knutson, Western Regional Director of
Church Planting, The Vineyard.

"Dave's pastoral experience is rooted in
leading "small churches." The engine that
drives him is an ever deepening intimacy in
Jesus Christ and partnering with other
leaders who live and lead toward that same
end and the fruit that comes from abiding in
Him. Dave has the experience, expertise,
character and calling to partner with pastors of
small churches."
-Terry Fike Church Resource Ministries
