How I Can Walk with You

There are many ways I can walk with you in this life, below are just a few.
I am not serving in a Congregational role at this time, and thus some services are for a fee to keep the lights on. Pricing is negotiable but these are the generally accepted fees in my region. Please call or email, my goal is to get you what you need in a value form that also helps me pay the bills.

Church Consultant

Does your church need a little help in one area? Sometimes an outside voice eases the tension and relieves the workload.

Some of the services I can provide are:

Constitution development and revision services
Consultation through high profile, high emotion topics
Communication and team building training for Councils
Bridge pastor
Understanding clergy compensation packets
Setting up and populating digital file systems for your leadership team
filing for non profit benefits through Tech Soup, Amazon, and Google along with set up
train your team to use Google Suite to streamline communication and file sharing
Help you evaluate for Holy Closure (Or NOT!)
Final planning education; end of life decisions in advance, remembering the church in your will, funeral planning on file, and gift policy support. (This is a 3 month process, 1 per month.)

Pastors, we often have no one on ‘our side’ who is familiar with the things we need support on.
I can:

assist in evaluating Mission Site Profiles, compensation packages, safety policies, family leave, etc.
train you in how to use Google Suite for more efficient work flow
Provide templates for monthly expenses, meeting reports, etc
Provide a funeral binder, including example service formats, consultation forms, etc

Fees for congregations begin at $250 for a Sunday supply visit (plus milage/travel) and range up to $1,000 for a full time week (plus travel) of consulting work.
Most speaking engagements range in the area of $400.
Fees for Pastors begin at $50 to review a document and give feedback (2-3 hours value).

Military Family Advocacy

I spent my first career in caring for Military Families- offering them support, connecting them to other families and the unit, teaching them about their benefits, advocating for them in moments of crisis, accompanying them through death and PTSD from military service.
I loved this role and it is what led me to pastoring. I will never quite let it go and am open to continued work for military families, units, and groups.

Spiritual Life

A spiritual life consists of many things but the primary ones are prayer, study, and action. I am here to pray with you, dig into theology (the study of God), dogma (the beliefs of the church), teach Bible study, explore additional and tangenital spiritual resources, deconstruct harmful messages from the church or christianity at large, or walk you through the sacred moments of life, love, and death.
I am interfaith trained and use those tools comfortably to help you move through your unique journey in a safe and supported way.

Fiber Arts

I am a broad spectrum artist. I spin, weave, knit, crochet, sew, quilt, prepare fiber and more. I am skilled in most of these to the point I am easily able to teach in a variety of modes to accommodate unique learning needs.
I am available to bring the arts into classrooms, prisons, churches, groups, or individual lessons and experiences. It is my joy to do this and even if you are just looking for a fellow fiber artist to hang out and craft with, I am she!

Sharing skill and experience does not diminish what one has, but the capacity of everyone involved.
