Pastoral/Church Support

For Pastors

For Churches

Pastors face all the pressures of running an organization in the same role as a business CEO, often with the additional burden of no training in management, severe financial constraints and the congregational expectation of unlimited time and perfection.

As a pastor, you may be facing:

  • Organizational/people problems you don’t know how to deal with
  • Leadership challenges and struggles
  • An unsupportive elder board
  • Personal sin, marriage issues or organizational issues that you aren’t willing to discuss within your congregational circles
  • The need for counsel outside your training
  • The need for a friend that you can be yourself with
  • Burnout from the incessant pressures of pastoral life

Know this, you do not have to walk alone. We are FOR you and recognize that there are no perfect pastors.

Pastors are welcome to be a member of a CBC group. Here they receive the same confidential consideration from the group as the other members, grow in their leadership skills and and receive godly advice for any issue presented.

Individual pastoral support includes confidential counsel in any and all areas of church life from one experienced serving the church in all areas including as an elder.

Costs for this support vary and depend on the need, starting with a cup of coffee or a phone call. Don’t let cost considerations deter you from calling. As a pastor, you are my HERO.

Churches are dynamic, living organisms and organizations. Like all organizations, they need strategic leadership and good management/stewardship. Like most organizations, they sometimes struggle and can benefit from an external perspective.

NMCBL can provide a broad range of organizational development, planning and management consulting services. As an experienced leader and elder, I can provide insight that understands the practical organizational issues while not discounting the potential of supernatural spiritual intervention.

Call to discuss the specific needs of your church with assurance that confidentiality will be maintained.

Tim has given clear-eyed insight and counsel to me over the years, which have saved me from great potential suffering and harm stemming from my own actions or thoughts. He is a skilled listener and coach/counselor. He is blessed with great sensitivity, wisdom and insight regarding business, leadership as well as an above average understanding of the challenges, which face those of us who serve God as leaders in the church. I have found him to be honest, straightforward and helpful. He is someone I would recommend as a coach, discipler or sounding board.

I have known Tim Turner for more than 30 years, have worked closely with him for 5 years.  In a turning point in my own career, 9 years ago, Tim provided me with clear and valuable counsel about what to do as a ministry leader.  I wholeheartedly recommend him and his wisdom to anyone who is a leader or owner of a company or ministry.  He is an asset to know and a blessing to our community.

I was a part of Tim’s CBC Group-in Albuquerque for a year and a half.  Over this time I was very blessed.  Personally, I grew spiritually, added business knowledge, stewardship wisdom and relationally.

Tim’s teaching leadership and care for my personal concerns about balancing leadership with family responsibilities helped me tremendously change my method of church work and family care.   Another helpful tool I received and applied was to launch my post Pasturage career in the present.   I didn’t realize I could live and build my dream of mission work, in my present.  It was Tim Turner who helped guide me into believing in myself and trusting God to go forward and try.  Again, his caring spirit and wisdom has blessed me more than I could ever pay him back.
