Our assessments help church leaders, libraries, school administrations and non-profit leadership make critical decisions. Our consulting helps those organizations take the necessary next steps. We have gained a great deal of insight and experience from our work with over 3,000 congregations, staff, boards, numerous regional associations, libraries, non-profits and schools across the country. Our mission is to help our clients benefit from that insight.

Testimonials

I will enthusiastically endorse the Holy Cow Church Assessment.

We cannot deny that we have to change. The 78% satisfaction rate with how we have responded to COVID was a very helpful thing for us to hear. (May 2021)

Faith Presbyterian Church, La Vista, Nebraska

These comments are representative of what the Discernment Committee has been hearing: I was amazed at Holy Cow’s technical acumen and their ability to pull out trends and patterns – as well as the huge number of congregations they have served! I was so very impressed with Emily Swanson! Her explanations were clear and made sense, she seems so friendly and caring and so very knowledgeable.

We APPRECIATE your process, your professionalism, and your passion for what you do! (May 2021)

Cathedral of All Souls, Asheville, NC

The information (from the Congregation Assessment Tool and Interpretation) has given our leadership information to drive the change needed. The tool gave voice to the members in anonymous way. It is a catalyst for our future. (May 2021)

Clairmont Presbyterian Church Decatur, GA

We looked at several survey tools. While we’d had prior experience with Holy Cow! Consulting, we still found your survey to be the most thorough and flexible. Moreover, you are established and have an excellent track record and reputation.

The most helpful part of the report was [t]he Transition Module gave us some ideas for actions the church can take on during the time we search for a new pastor. Also some ideas of the kind of pastor we should consider considering the results of the survey. (April 2021)
