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)
