Working with Vandersall Collective made such a difference as our church sought to define our long-range vision based on who we are and who God is calling us to be. The consultants were able to help us understand what the data meant that we had already collected over several years, and to construct a parish-wide survey and focus groups to dive deeper into main themes that had emerged.

Our parish leadership, even those who at first thought we did not need consultants, had deep gratitude for the work Vandersall did. We came away with a clear sense of who we are as a parish, our gifts, as well as areas where we could adjust our messaging and understanding in order to move in a healthier direction.

Vandersall Collective did excellent work. They listened with insight and compassion, and helped us to learn. They were professional, friendly, and deeply spiritual. We got so much more out of this process than we expected.

The discussion at the retreat was rich and necessary. I am grateful for your honesty, vulnerability and care for our parish. What a beautiful job you did leading! I heard from a number of folks how much they enjoyed your approach and leadership. Well done. 

‘Thank You’ falls far too short to express my appreciation for the time you spent with us and the words you shared with us. Seeds have been planted and planted faithfully by you. Now, it is time for us to do our parts—to shift our paradigm and to work—and trust our Lord for the increase. Your words and the concepts you presented tied so coherently with growth (spiritually and numerically) and moving forward with parish status.

We chose Vandersall Collective because they care as much about the life and future of the whole parish as they do about the campaign they are assisting with. This challenges us to look beyond where we are and see where we can be, both financially and spiritually.

Vandersall consultants were wonderful to work with in helping our congregation do important discernment work around a potential capital campaign. The keen insight and wisdom offered with good humor and support were invaluable to our leadership team in enabling us to move forward. Anyone seeking help with strategic planning or capital campaign consultants should absolutely consider Vandersall Collective.
