Doug Murren would be a great addition to your development as a church. He is adept at shaping his presentation to match your church specifically. His primary areas of coaching are:

• Developing an overall strategic plan: This process will allow you to have a working plan for staffing, funding, facilities and style. A partnership with a planner can realize tremendous advances in a ministry.
• Developing a strong volunteer ministry: One key indicator of the likelihood of future growth is the size and quality of your volunteer force. This will provide you with the tools needed to improve the workforce.
• Strategic planning for facilities expansion: An outside point of view can often help a church find alternate plans to achieve their facility issues. With Doug’s personal experience with several building efforts and coaching other churches, it has introduced him to an array of possibilities in developing a facility.
• Developing an outreach effective church: To develop an outreach church means developing an outreach culture. For years, Doug has been a primary voice in advancing outreach capabilities in churches.
• Leadership development within your church: Leadership development works best within a system. This will provide you with the ability to develop a system that will feed your church’s leadership needs for years.
• Overall Ministry assessment of your church: A new set of eyes can often give a clear perspective of your churches true state. Getting help in painting an accurate picture of your present state can be a vital part of developing your future.
