Holy Cow! exceeded expectations in every way. Elizabeth was phenomenal. In addition to exceptional communication skills she blends her command of the statistical model with her hands-on experience with Presbyterian congregations such as ours. The presentation was well-paced and engaging throughout. She was smart and related the results well to our congregation and community. The session was thoughtfully structured, highly engaging, and provided meaningful, actionable insights. Elizabeth created an open and constructive environment that encouraged participation and made the data/information easy to understand. The trust in the leaders to guide the next chapter of the church’s development – it gives us confidence to make the moves we need to, knowing the congregation are with us. (May 2025)

We used the Landscape assessment and are grateful for the data review. It was an amazing presentation. Holy Cow made stats understandable and that’s almost impossible to do! (April 2026)

The greatest benefit to using the Landscape tool and working with Holy Cow! Consulting was the recommendations about qualities in a bishop which was most helpful in the short term – but the drivers satisfaction and energy will be helpful in the longer run. We have avidly read and incorporated what we learned into our profile. (March 2026)

The CAT is a reliable, evidence-based, benchmarked assessment tool that will help you as leaders measure and understand (with a HolyCow! Consulting professional interpretation) the health, vitality, cultural strengths and critical success factors for improving the congregation. The greatest benefit of working with Holy Cow! has been helping the congregation to identify and evaluate key focus areas, prepare for their clergy search, and begin to improve their health and vitality.

The work with Holy Cow! Consulting is very effective. It is a great way to see ourselves as we are living out our mission. (February 2026)

Our work with Holy Cow! Consulting was outstanding! Our consultant was direct, transparent, responsive to our needs, and able to pivot on a dime when it became clear that we needed her to do such. Well worth the (affordable) cost of the services. Our parish is right where it needs to be at this time in our parish life–thanks in large part to HCC and our consultant. (February 2026)

The most important information for us was data coming from the worship module that will help guide us in improving the worship for our congregation and visitors. Working with Holy Cow! is a must-do for a church in pastoral transition. (October 2025)

The interpretation meeting with the consultant was very helpful, she really gave us a good understanding of the results. This is our second Holy Cow! experience, and I am just as pleased this time as the last. (October 2025)

The CAT was well worth the investment of our time, energy, and money. The greatest benefit was the A clear picture of who we are and how we tend to operate. Our interpreter was first-rate and she created an expanded executive summary which became the primary document we shared with the parish. (October 2025)

The Conversations survey was detailed, easy to understand and complete. The assistance provided by your staff was very helpful in helping us complete the survey in a timely manner – which was very important in our case. The interpretation of the results was excellent, as was our facilitator. I wish we had known about your services in earlier discernment processes!

Susan Czolgosz is very knowledgeable and did an excellent job providing context for our survey results. She answered all of our questions and followed-up with additional detail in a very timely manner. Impressive! (October 2025)
