The VitalChurch team provides denominations with customized diagnostic analysis of churches within a particular region, or of the denomination as a whole. We also offer interim pastor training and interim pastor staffing for denominational churches.

We Are...

Pastors, with pastors’ hearts

We are pastors called to the work of interim pastoring and leading Christ-centered churches through a season brought on by some type of transition or crisis. We direct, empower, and facilitate change in churches, leading them to pathways of healing, hope and revitalization. For more than 20 years, we have prepared churches to be vital and vibrant places, ready to call a new pastor, through a proven process that is theologically and biblically based. We are a leading organization in the area of intentional interim pastoring and church diagnostics, having written numerous resources used by other Christian organizations.

Testimonials

"I have been at [the church] since the fall of 1973. The church is more vibrant, more outward thinking, and just more enthusiastic about digging deeper into God and then sharing him that (sic) we have ever seen. It’s just so cool. So I wanted you to know that your work with us is bearing good, sweet fruit. We all believe that God brought [the pastor] to us to accomplish a turn around. His work with you and your work with us has indeed turned us." Read More Testimonials »
