How We Can help
Individual Clergy Care
Being a member of the clergy can be an isolating experience for many.
In the midst of hospital calls, sermon writing, leadership meetings, pastoral emergencies, frustrated members, etc., etc, where does one find time for health and balance, let alone camaraderie with other pastors and trusted friends? This isolation can lead members of the clergy to "self-sooth" in ways that invite shame and guilt, which can in turn, lead to dysfunctional leadership practices. This does not have to be the case. MASH Consulting offers individual counseling and leadership coaching which can help pastors remain passionate and focused on their calling!
Program Packages can be tailored to your need and budget.
Group Clergy/Leadership Education
They say, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
The MASH evaluation process empowers clergy to recognize issues of potential congregational dysfunction so that they can respond to them in pastoral and effective ways. This material can be presented in both single or multiple day retreat formats.
Is your church in crisis of just stuck?
If we're human, we have blind spots in our lives, hence the term.
The principles of the MASH process will help to discern why your congregation is stuck and will identify strategies to move forward.
It will also equip leadership, both clergy and lay, to be aware of the pitfalls and patterns of behavior which can do damage to ministries. These patterns do not go away on their own. It's not a joke when you hear that the last 7 words of a dying church are, "We've always done it that way."
These principles can be applied to all congregational sizes and across denominations.
Don't wait for a crisis to equip your team.
