Redeemer Lutheran Church contracted with TAG Consulting to
assess your congregation. TAG is a management consulting and
coaching firm headquartered in Fairfax, VA – just outside of
Washington, DC. We specialize in visioning, strategic
planning, organizational assessment/development, coaching,
and conflict resolution. Approximately 30% of our work is
with congregations. The other 70% includes work with federal
government agencies, financial institutions, non-profits,
and a variety of other businesses. We have worked with over
400 congregations of all sizes from various denominations.
During the process, we gathered information from the
following sources:
Advance documentation (membership trends, financial
trends, demographic information, church history, issues
identified, ministry information, and so forth)
Transforming Church Index (congregational survey
that compares your church to national norms)
Focus groups and/or interviews with various members
in your church (newcomers, long-term members, leaders,
staff, and so forth)
TAG Consulting's purpose in gathering the information
was to provide the church with an understanding of its
current realities and help identify the key strategic issues
for the visioning process.
Please
review this report
carefully as you prepare for the planning session.
