RELIGION
CONSULTING PRACTICE
Faith Based Organizations
and the Community
Faith Based
organizations are playing an ever increasing role in meeting the
spiritual, emotional and social service needs facing their communities.
As a result of decreased funding from government sources and foundations,
and declining contributions from their constituencies, these
organizations are being forced to operate more efficiently and
effectively in order to carry out their missions. Many organizations are
even finding it necessary to re-define themselves and develop new
missions. Whether a religion governing body, seminary, individual
congregation, or faith based agency, many of these organizations are
finding that traditional business practices, tailored to the special
needs of the faith based community can help them respond more effectively
to the rapidly changing conditions of today’s society.
NESC is uniquely positioned to provide this type of expertise to
faith based organizations at a cost substantially below the fees
typically charged by other for and non-profit consulting firms. We can
draw upon our unmatched talent pool of hundreds of senior-level business
professionals who volunteer their time to work with our clients in the
non-profit sector. They combine outstanding management skills with an
understanding of and sensitivity to the special requirements of the faith
based community.

What
Clients Say About NESC’s Religion Consulting Practice
“As a result of
NESC’s work in our parish, we have a detailed historical overview and
an outline of where we should be heading, in terms of public relations
and fund raising efforts, as we approach our 100th year”
“Your
skills in translating a complex set of relations into an understandable
graphic representation has enabled us to implement the allocation
methodology in an efficient and effective manner”
“With
your assistance, a thoughtful analysis of the current workload and areas
of responsibility was undertaken through interviews with current staff
and Board members yielding a re-definition of roles and a restructuring
of the agency’s management team.”
“Thanks
to you and all of the NESC volunteers who worked on the Hunger Study for
the Food Bank! The study is
an impressive document.”
“I used NESC when I first came to our church for an
employee and program evaluation. They were extremely helpful in providing
the evaluation and in coaching the individual. I would definitely use
them in the future as a competent source for both employee and
program evaluation.”
