Our expertise comes from more than just church leadership.
Many church consultants have no experience outside churches.
We’ve worked with more than 200 organizations who aren’t churches, in addition to dozens who are.
That breadth of expertise enables us to bring you the wisdom that comes only with well-tested perspective.
Our practice flows out of a Christian view of organizations and the world.
We believe every church—and every organization—bears God’s image in a unique way.
We believe organizations are part of the world God created and intended for image-bearers to follow his work in the creation mandate.
We believe the Fall touches every aspect of organizations and our leadership of them.
We also believe that Redemption is possible too, especially where we can overcome dysfunction with the proactive pursuit of flourishing.
We’re working to redesign the brokennesses in our industry.
Every line of work has famous flaws. In consulting, they tend to look like:
Consultants who invent reasons you need to keep paying them.
Work that no one can quite understand, or remember afterward.
Short-term excitement, but no long-term change.
We haven’t solved all of these yet, but since ALIGN’s beginning in 2014, we’ve aimed to avoid these, or even replace them entirely with their healthy opposites.
Our approach is based on signature systems designed to set your church free to experience and create flourishing.
We don’t start from scratch each time we work.
There’s a set of perspectives and systems we’ve gathered over the years that you won’t find anywhere else. They help us measure, understand, and unlock the organizational flourishing your church is meant to participate in.
We call these perspectives and systems The 7 Ways, and they’re the unique approach that makes our work with churches such a refreshingly different experience.
