Presbyterian United Church of Christ, Saratoga Springs, NY

As a church in transition as we seek a new pastor, our experience with HolyCow! Consulting was very helpful in assessing the needs of our members, providing a picture of the church as we begin the pastoral search process, and identifying traits that we should seek in our new pastor.

The information in the CAT report provided validation of our sense about where our congregation is and highlighted some of our challenges. The report helps clarify some areas of focus for our more immediate goals. (April 2024)

The Congregation Assessment Tool has clearly outlined our priorities and recommendations to improve our worship service and to especially being more inviting to younger families. It is also clearly outlined the kind of Pastor we are looking for in the future. I would recommend Holy Cow! Consulting in transition work. Our team was impressed with the information that was presented to us in a clear fashion. (March 2024)

I would hands down recommend Holy Cow! Consulting’s services. It saves valuable time in the search process and the benchmarking is something you can’t get if you roll your own survey. The information will help us prioritize our ministries and know what qualities to focus on as we search for a new Rector. (March 2024)

You will benefit from the knowledge. You may have a great understanding of the pulse of the congregation but you will get some nuggets that you have not thought of. The most beneficial information is the shadow sides of our strengths and what to look for in the next rector. (December 2023)
