The Emerging Trend Of Comprehensive Church Consultations, Sam S. Rainer Iii
The Emerging Trend Of Comprehensive Church Consultations, Sam S. Rainer Iii
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
Church consultation is a broad discipline that covers many facets of church needs. And the field covers churches of any size, from small, rural churches to large, suburban megachurches. Granted, a larger church typically has more resources that allows for a deeper analysis, but consultants also have much to offer the smaller church as well.

Church Growth Consulting: Evolution Of An Intervention, Alan Mcmahan
Journal of the American Society for Church Growth
The rise of the church growth movement in the early 1970’s 1 produced new insights and understanding as to how churches experienced growth and decline. In the years since then an entire industry has emerged to further church growth research and to deliver the resulting insights to pastors and churches. These delivery methods have taken many different forms ranging from formal seminary curriculums, to seminars and workshops, to books and audio or videotapes and computer programs, to expert consultations. As might be predicted, the ability of each delivery system to actually empower lasting, fruitful change among churches and leaders varies.
