The Challenge
Frankford Community CRC knew its church building needed to adapt. But determining what to change—and why—required more than a conversation about bricks and mortar.
Rather than beginning with renovations, Shepherd Consulting helped church leaders consider a more foundational question: What kind of ministry are we preparing this building to serve?
The Solution
Through consultations with the pastor and senior leadership, followed by an off-site leadership retreat, Shepherd helped create space to examine ministry priorities, consider future needs, and discern how the building could better support the congregation’s calling.
The value of this kind of accompaniment was echoed by A. MacIsaac, Chair of Council at another congregation Shepherd served, Charlottetown CRC:
“Working with Shepherd was a genuine blessing for our church council. We were extremely pleased with his leadership and expertise during a time of great challenge for our congregation.”
