ESTABLISHED CHURCHES NEW CHURCHES Helping established churches renew CMM helps established churches navigate the journey of renewal (often involving relaunching) by providing various services, including the two consulting services detailed below. Transformational Church (TC) consulting Through TC consulting, CMM helps congregations develop the seven characteristics of churches that participate actively in what the Spirit is doing to transform the lives of individuals and communities. Those characteristics make up the Transformational Loop shown below. Research indicates that all seven are strongly present in churches where people are encountering Jesus, choosing to follow Jesus, and growing as co-workers with Jesus. (For details concerning these seven characteristics, click here .) TC consulting include the following elements: 1) a church-wide assessment using an online assessment instrument, 2) a day-long interactive Discovery Retreat , 3) formation of a detailed action plan that defines the congregation’s journey forward, 4) follow-up ministry coaching for the congregation’s lead pastor. TC consulting is provided by GCI-USA trainers certified to use LifeWay’s Transformational Discipleship Assessment tools.
