Facilitate Your Future
Guide your leadership team & congregation in designing your ministry’s future!
In light of all you and your group have navigated – this is a timely moment to engage others as you (re)imagine what is next for you and your ministry community. Having a personal conversation with a trusted guide often makes the way clearer, less isolated, and feel more plausible. In an era marked by so much uncertainty a small investment of time, resources, and conversation can embolden leadership. You don’t have to feel alone. Dwight’s calling is supporting local communities of faith & practice toward a better urban future for all and everything… what Jesus described as the “Kin-dom of God.” Dwight is available for > > >

What questions & concerns are on your heart?
+ Who are we now?
+ In-person, or on-line… what does it mean for us to gather, and unto what?
+ How can we reimagine our church’s building and maybe even our financial strategy?
+ Even if we could, would we want to simply return to ministry as “normal”?
+ How has our context changed? And what might these changes be inviting of us and our ministry?
+ What might it look like for us to discover an even more faithful way of loving God, loving our neighbors, and loving ourselves?
+ How can we listen to, and learn from all our neighbors and our neighborhood?
Church Owned Property
One of the unintended consequences of the COVID lockdown and moving worship gatherings online has been the reimagination of stewarding church owned properties. This may be an opportunity for your faith community to flip the script on your property.
Welcome & Belonging
In 2023 the USA’s Surgeon General released a report articulating an epidemic of loneliness. That loneliness combined with social fragmentation, political divisiveness, and the residue of pandemic isolation is a invitation for communities of Jesus followers to deepen their practice welcoming all as God in Christ welcomes all.
Rediscovering the “Big Why”
Unprecedented times of upheaval and change often invite leaders, teams, and faith communities to (re)examine the “why” of their located-collective existence. Sometimes values, mission, and strategies require realignment.
