CHURCH FACILITY PLANNING
Using the More-with-Less Church system of planning church buildings pioneered by our founder Ray Bowman, we can usually save churches with significant building needs hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars on facilities compared to traditional facility solutions. STAFFING FOR GROWTH In most churches, suboptimum staffing patterns hinder growth and limit ministry effectiveness. We show you how to remove these barriers to empower your staff. |
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
In most churches we work with, we find financial barriers to healthy growth. We identify these for you and recommend ways to remove them. MINISTRY AND CHURCH HEALTH
Church buildings, staff, and finance all exist for ministry. The goal of maximizing ministry should drive the shaping of every other aspect of your strategic plan. To evaluate church health, we use the Natural Church Development survey. |
Every Living Stones strategic plan includes ministries and church health, staffing, and finances.
Facility planning is included for those churches that request it.

An Integrated Approach
A rare, possibly unique, strength of Living Stones is that we have the expertise to integrate all these elements into a single comprehensive plan that takes into account how each area impacts all the others. Your plan will:
>> Identify barriers to healthy growth in each of the four areas.
>> Recommend specific action steps to remove these barriers.
>> Prioritize and sequence recommendations. For example, which comes first--hiring staff or building an addition?
Most church health consultants do not do facility planning. Most facility specialists lack an in-depth working knowledge of church health assessment, creative ministry programming options, and staffing dynamics. Because your Living Stones team includes specialists in all these areas with complementary expertise, you end up with a comprehensive, integrated plan, not a piecemeal plan.

High Implementation Rate
Many churches invest heavily in strategic planning only to see the completed plans collect dust. Living Stones has, through the years of experience, developed strategies that insure that most churches are able to implement most of the major consultation recommendations. We don't just work with you to develop a plan. More importantly, we continue to work with you as you fine-tune and implement your plan.
