HOW I CAN HELP YOU?

I know what’s it like to lead a growing church. It’s exhilarating. 

People getting saved and baptised.

Small Groups growing.

Finances flowing in.

And then something happens. 

Growth stalls. Barriers emerge. The flow you had has vanished. What got you here doesn’t look like it’s going to get you to next stage.

Then one day it hits you. I am stuck and I don’t know how to get unstuck. 

Your frustration deepens and you start to wonder if you are the right person to be leading your church into its future. 

You contemplate giving up and moving on to a different life. 

I’ve been there.

Eventually I reached out, got some help and got unstuck. 

Today I help pastors look at their church with a fresh set of eyes. 

I help them get unstuck. 

Let me help you get unstuck.

ABout

I have 30 years of pastoral experience. 

As lead pastor at C3 Church Hepburn Heights I led our church through generational renewal which saw our church grow while planting a new church every 3 years and also move to a purpose-built, multi-million dollar worship centre. 

In 2012 I founded Grow a Healthy Church and have conducted over 170 on-site and online church consults in 5 nations. 

Through Christ’s grace, I have helped churches improve their health, grow numerically, increase their volunteer numbers, develop stronger connections with visitors, raise more money and build leadership pipelines.

John’s ability to listen to where I am at and to offer easy to understand guidance has boosted me into a new level in my ministry and own faith journey.

Ps Alex Huggett
John is a wellspring of information, experience and advice in all things church. His responses were often out of the box of what's been said before.
