Testimonials

Wow! The value of this goes so far beyond simple statistics of the answers to the survey questions. Amazing work. Would recommend you for sure! (October, 2020)

St. Martin-in-the-Fields Episcopal Church, Southlake, TX

The CAT (Congregation Assessment Tool) has changed my Ministry for good. I’ve been doing this work for almost seven years now. Having solid evidence for discernment – especially, but not exclusively, for clergy transitions has been fabulous. – The Rev. Dr. Richard M. Simpson,
Canon to the Ordinary (February 2020)

Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts

The Congregation Assessment Tool provided an outside view of our church and helped us put into words who we are with both our strengths and our weaknesses. The CAT provided powerful insights while being very user friendly and accessible. (January 2020)

St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, Austin, Texas

We could not be more pleased with the work by Emily and Holy Cow! Consulting. We engaged them to do a “Listening Post” of our community during a time of leadership transition and needed strategic planning. Emily helped us better understand our organization and how to navigate our next steps. Many surveys will just give you the raw data but Holy Cow!’s survey is strategic and responses are interpreted and analyzed to get to the heart of bigger trends and issues and understanding of your community. We are grateful for their services and expertise. (February 2020)
