COST GUIDE · COMMON QUESTIONS

Church consulting costs, explained plainly.

What does church consulting typically cost?

Church consulting costs depend on the depth of the work. Cornerstone Practice offers a focused Listening + Engagement project for $1,500–$3,000, a 12-Month Compact starting at $12,000, and custom Strategic Partnerships for larger or more complex work.

What drives the price of an engagement?

The price reflects the number of people involved, the amount of listening and analysis required, the length of the engagement, and whether the work includes playbook development, volunteer training, outcomes reporting, coaching, or organization-wide support.

Can a small church afford a consultant?

Yes. The fixed-fee Listening + Engagement exists so a smaller church can begin with a useful, bounded project. It gives leaders a clear picture of current care, practical next steps, and a basis for deciding whether broader work makes sense.

A WORD ON FIT
