The Cornerstone
Our I.M.P.A.C.T. Approach
At Cornerstone Consultants, we use our I.M.P.A.C.T. framework to guide churches from vision to sustainable transformation. Rooted in strategy and led by faith, this six-phase process — Inventory, Map, Plan, Activate, Cultivate, and Thread — equips ministries with the tools, systems, and clarity they need to grow their reach, deepen engagement, and steward resources more effectively.
Whether you’re building a communication strategy, launching a capital campaign, or reimagining your presence in the community, our I.M.P.A.C.T. model ensures that every step is intentional, transparent, and aligned with your mission.
“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.”
— Proverbs 16:3
INVENTORY
We begin by gathering honest input through interviews, surveys, and an organizational document review to uncover what’s working—and what isn’t. This phase surfaces the unspoken realities shaping your congregation’s direction and health.
MAPPING
We chart your internal and external landscape, identifying strengths, barriers, and opportunities. This creates a visual and strategic foundation to guide intentional decision-making.
PLANNING
Together, we convert vision into actionable strategy through goal-setting, priority alignment, and realistic timelines. Every plan is tailored to your mission, capacity, and community context.
“For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it.”
— Luke 14:28
ACTIVATE
We move strategy into motion by launching initiatives, empowering leaders, and aligning teams around shared objectives. Communication and accountability drive this phase forward.
CULTIVATE
We help you build systems for sustained growth, including leadership formation, feedback loops, and resource strengthening. This is where momentum becomes mission-aligned discipline.
THREAD
We anchor change through reflection, renewal, and reintegration of best practices. The result is a community better equipped to live its mission with purpose, clarity, and grace.
