This process is well worth the cost. Saves you from having to develop an assessment from scratch (which our church did last time). Having the in-depth interpretation of our data. Susan was exceptional! (February 2025)

The greatest benefit of this process was showing where we are as a congregation in a variety of areas. Holy Cow! Consulting offered a very enlightening interpretation of CAT, was easy to work with and very responsive. (February, 2025)

The Congregation Assessment Tool is an excellent tool to see how your Church benchmarks, and provides an unbiased look at your congregation’s views. The results allow us to identify the areas that our congregation mutually agrees that need addressing. (January 2025)

Our experience with Holy Cow! Consulting was invaluable. It has confirmed a lot of what we suspected about who we are and where we’re going, enabling us to move forward on several initiatives with greater confidence. (January 2025)

We used Holy Cow! Consulting for an assessment and for congregational listening sessions, we really benefitted from the way in which our consultant (Elizabeth) guided us through the process and was such an attentive listener using accurate empathy along the way. (December 2024)

The Congregation Assessment Tool has clarified what we need to prioritize as we begin crafting our strategic plan. It also identified some underlying obstacles. I work as a consultant with other Episcopal churches in transition and recommend Holy Cow often. I always tell them that the survey uncovers things they might know about themselves deep down but haven’t been named. It is excellent information to have when recruiting and interviewing potential rector candidates but also in planning for the future. (December 2024)

The benefit of going through this process is it clarified for us the areas we need to work on. It opened discussion for us in our church Session. The work with this team was a very worthwhile and supportive experience. (September 2024)

The assessment gave us a better understanding of who our congregation is and what type of Rector we might be looking for, with excellent customer service from Holy Cow! Consulting. (September 2024)

The information from the assessment was beneficial to us as we developed our parish profile as we seek our new priest. We would highly recommend working with Holy Cow! Consulting. I sent our results to our diocese and spoke highly of the assistance and work from Holy Cow. (August 2024)

I would give a strong recommendation for Holy Cow! Consulting, results give a very thorough understanding of the congregation. The data gave us a more comprehensive understanding of what drives satisfaction and energy, church culture, top priorities, and attributes of the next installed pastor. (June 2024)
