Steve consults with churches and their leadership in a number of areas. The aim is always to promote healthy missional function that in turn encourages disciple-making disciples.

An outside perspective – to the continual day-to-day, which leaders experience – can provide a reflexive space to assess vision and mission, and the energy expended in pursuit of both. Renewed energy and creativity are often a much needed result of investing in this kind of partnership.
