Our Services

At Altar & Field, we offer thoughtful, strategic support for churches, clergy, and lay leaders navigating all the aspects of congregational life. From one-time consultations to in-depth retreats, our services are designed to help you reflect honestly, lead faithfully, and build sustainable, innovative ministries. Whether you need a second brain, a fresh perspective, or a full day to reimagine what’s next—we’re here to help you move forward with clarity and care.

  • Free | 20 minutes

    Not sure where to begin? This complimentary call is your on-ramp. We’ll spend 20 minutes getting to know one another and talking through the contours of your ministry context—what’s working, what’s not, and where you’re feeling stuck (or stirred). At the end of our call, you’ll have a clear sense of how Altar and Field can help and which steps might serve you best. No pressure, no pitch—just a good conversation.

  • $85 | 50 Minutes

    Sometimes you don’t need a full-scale strategy—you just need a second brain and a straight answer. This session is designed to help you untangle one specific challenge or troubleshoot an idea quickly. Whether you're wondering if you should move to a summer schedule or if your ministry idea is viable, we’ll talk it through and discern your best next step. You'll walk away with clarity, practical recommendations, and maybe even a laugh or two.

  • $225 | 90 minutes

    $450 | 3 hours

    This is where we roll up our sleeves and tackle the issue (or two) keeping you up at night. 

    Mastermind sessions are designed for an individual or team who need more than a quick conversation—they need space to think deeply, wrestle honestly, and map out a way forward. Each session is tailored to your context and goals. I’ll bring guiding questions, honest perspective, and practical tools you can use to strengthen, streamline, or experiment in faithful ways.

    Mastermind topics might include:

    Rethinking staff roles or leadership structure

    Creating a launch plan for Invite Welcome Connect or Alpha

    Developing a stewardship theme and budgeting for vision

    Innovating new ministries that align with your mission (and figuring out which ministries need a good Christian burial)

    Mapping a discipleship or spiritual formation pathway

    Breaking plateaus and preparing your congregation for what comes next

    Reimagining Sunday mornings—schedule, flow, or formation offerings

    Discerning with a couple whether a job transition is coming down the pike

    Because Mastermind sessions thrive on depth and trust, groups are limited to 3–4 people.

    Before we meet, you’ll complete a brief questionnaire to help clarify the issue(s) you want to explore. After our session, you’ll receive a short written summary with key takeaways and recommended next steps.

    Think of this as an old-school secret shopper. 

    What’s it really like to worship at your church for the first time? Fresh Lens begins with a review of your digital presence—your website, social media, and weekly communications—followed by an in-person Sunday visit to assess the full experience from a guest’s perspective. From signage and bulletins to liturgy and coffee hour, I will observe what visitors actually encounter, not just what you hope they do. 

    Following my visit you will receive a detailed report with affirmations, observations, and actionable steps you can take to strengthen hospitality, enhance worship, and ensure visitors’ experience reflect the heart of your congregation. My evaluation is rooted in the belief that churches of all sizes, budgets, and churchmanship can offer worship where Christ is made known, hearts are renewed, and people are commissioned for faithful Gospel ministry in the world. 

    You may also choose to add on a one-hour coaching call for an additional $85 to debrief the report, ask questions, and troubleshoot recommendations. 

    In-person only. Travel expenses and accommodations are not included.

    The Church moves in seasons—and so should your planning.

    This quarterly rhythm is designed for clergy and ministry leaders who want to move through the Church year with greater clarity, creativity, and cohesion. We’ll meet once per season to plan upcoming programs, shape discipleship offerings for liturgical seasons, develop stewardship themes, and track your ministry goals. Each session is tailored to your context and grounded in the rhythms of the liturgical calendar so you can lead faithfully and thoughtfully, one season at a time.

    Option to pay in quarterly installments.
