…I appreciate that Kim listens carefully and is able to discern quickly what is going on in my local church situations. Her knowledge of the strengths and characteristics of vital congregations in a variety of settings is extensive and has been tremendously helpful in our work together. I have found her guidance in all matters of ministry to be clear and on target. At the end of each hour long session, I come away with practical next steps and helpful action plans for my ministry and/or for the congregation I serve…

I would really encourage all churches to go through this process with Rev. Barlow. He allows God to lead him and the members of the workshop to a clear understanding of what God wants for each particular congregation. Each congregation has its own strengths and weaknesses. Only The Holy Spirit can sustain a spiritually healthy congregation, but when we lose sight of our core values, mission and vision we stagnate.
