Southern Counties Baptist Association - Mission Consultancy


At any stage of any church’s life it needs to be asking questions like 'Where is the Lord taking us next in mission? What is the Lord saying to us about how we are and how we might be?'

Consultancy is designed to help a church find some of the answers to those questions and then begin to move forward. Consultants do not come into a church and tell it what to do. Instead, we work in partnership with churches help to discern the call of God and to step forward in mission.

Many churches find themselves frustrated by their inability to move forward in mission and often the sympathetic ministry of consultants can clear a blockage. Churches that are experiencing blessing equally can benefit from consultancy by having someone from outside to help them analyse what is going well and maybe what could go better. Consultancy is a form of fellowship in the gospel, and is becoming a significant feature of Baptist life. Dozens of churches, of varying sizes, have already benefited. Why not put it on your church’s agenda?

Once the church has decided to explore consultancy as a way forward, get in touch with your association team. Contact Keith Hawton for to discuss this with a regional minister, or for more information, look at our Mission Consultancy Introduction, or look on our downloads page for more detailed information.
