What churches & leaders are saying

BILL WHITT Lead Pastor | Cascade Fellowship

Pastor Larry helped us sharpen our church's mission and vision statements -- making them more specific to our particular congregation and our particular calling in our unique context.

We now understand our neighborhood better and feel more equipped to reach out with Christ's love to the 60 percent who do not have a church home! We have also been able to understand and prioritize the next steps we should take as a congregation to maximize our effectiveness in the Kingdom of God! As a church in the "adult phase" of growth, it is important for us to periodically make small adjustments to avoid plateau or decline. Larry's process is perfect for this purpose!

DEREK ELMI-BUURSMA Lead Pastor | Loop Church

Larry took a genuine interest in our church and helped jumpstart the conversation discerning God's hope-filled future for our community. Larry provided an important structure and helpful frameworks that gave us a starting place in our prayers & conversations regarding next steps.

With the framework, there was also an important element of flexibility in which Larry tailored the discernment process to our specific needs and goals as a church. Larry was always quick to respond and quick to encourage - his work is a gift and blessing to the church navigating the challenges and opportunities present in each new season.

JIM KIRK Lead Pastor | Geneva Campus Church

The congregational retreat that Larry facilitated for us was just what we needed to prayerfully reflect on our history and calling in this season as a church.

The L3 survey for the congregation and leadership helped us listen carefully to everyone in our church as we prepared. The framework for thinking about the church was both biblical and practical. Larry's facilitation was an encouragement and a blessing to our time together. The report we received afterwards has helped us to keep the conversation going as we seek to follow through on what we learned. I would highly recommend this resource to other churches and leaders.
