After 35+ years of pastoring, leading a church, leading networks, counseling, training leaders and working with church planters, Dave is converting his experience, insight and content into the work of ministry coaching and church consulting. Levels of coaching and consultation will include:

• Leadership Coaching. Church leaders feel dizzied by the array of competing priorities. They need help identifying next steps. Or they feel stagnant in areas where their leadership needs to be sharper. To turn a famous John Piper phrase, coaching exists because progress does not.

• Plurality Development. Elders are a group of qualified men authorized to lead a congregation. Plurality is the culture of shared leadership emerging as they exercise their roles.  Drawing from his experience and writings on eldership, Dave’s coaching helps lead pastors and elders understand better how to build healthy plurality.

• Missional Sharpness. Pastors and elders tend to default towards care. Mission thinking and multiplication strategies require more work. They often require the help of an experienced coach who can identify constraints and offer creative solutions.

• Books and Tools. Dave has written or created tools around a broad spectrum of themes including marriage, ambition, resilience, eldership, calling, residencies, and church planting networks. As someone often called upon for consultation, he brings a doctrinally-grounded, gospel-driven, application-minded orientation to individuals or groups who want to think deeper or create programs in areas covered by his content.
