With good guidance, preparation, and coaching, the transition can be an ideal time of renewed energy and growth which is better than just ‘getting through a change’!

We have successfully worked with Bishops, Cabinets, and local church Staff-Parish-Relations committees to find and recruit ‘best match’ new Sr. Pastors to larger church appointments.
We consult with churches, judicatories, not-for-profits, and other corporate entities. We help assess and identify the current culture and teach specific steps and techniques to change the desired culture throughout the organization.
Workshops and seminars are fast-paced, interactive, and engaging with lots of laughter, stories, and discussion. We have trained more than 20,000 pastors and church leaders in over thirty annual conferences.
Do virtual training and workshops work best for you? Our experienced team put all our workshops into webinar form with the same great content that is relevant, doable, interactive, fun, and shows results! Contact us today to get started.
Customized “Train the Trainer” leadership retreats are held in beautiful east Texas, just a 90-minute drive from Love Field in Dallas.
Learn to understand culture and implement positive change.
A church’s culture is the launchpad for everything a church does, the starting point for every ministry. If the culture is “off,” everything else will be out of kilter. Church Culture equips every pastor and leader with the tools necessary for culture change. Authors Ozier and Thibodeaux, both experts in this area of church leadership, teach the basic concepts so readers can understand what culture is and why it’s so crucial. Even more importantly, they provide a step-by-step process leaders can use to diagnose and gently shift the culture in their church.
The Changeover Zone addresses a critical and perennial need in the church: the process of handing the baton of pastoral leadership from one person to the next. Authors Jim Ozier and Jim Griffith offer practical, clear instruction and guidance for both clergy and congregations. They provide detailed sections, especially for clergy who are taking over from founding pastors and those replacing long-tenured pastors.
The book is packed with real-church examples, helpful tips, and tactics that have been proven successful. This resource will expertly guide pastors, supervisors, and congregations in almost any church setting or denomination.
The Big Risk and Bigger Reward of Hospitality
When cyclists “clip in” to the pedals, they take a risk. But they also commit—to finding a new way to achieve the balance and momentum necessary to propel them forward along their course.
Creating a culture of hospitality and growing your church involves a similar risk-taking process and learning new habits of balance and momentum. In Clip In, authors Jim Ozier and Fiona Haworth offer practical, growth-oriented coaching advice to help your church master the delicate interplay between balancing attention toward existing members and generating momentum through reaching new people.
