our methodology
At Cornerstone Consultancy, 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.
INVENTORY. MAP. PLAN.
The first three phases of the I.M.P.A.C.T. Method help churches move from uncertainty to clarity.... without rushing to solutions.
We begin by listening deeply and gathering honest input to understand the real dynamics shaping your congregation today. From there, we map your internal strengths and external environment to reveal opportunities and barriers often hidden in plain sight. Finally, we translate shared vision into a realistic, mission-aligned plan—grounded in your capacity, timeline, and community context.
This process doesn’t impose answers. It creates the conditions for confident, informed decisions rooted in truth, alignment, and purpose.
ACTIVATE. CULTIVATE. THREAD.
The last three phases of the I.M.P.A.C.T. Method ensure that good plans don’t stall and that change doesn’t fade.
We move strategy into action by aligning people, communication, and accountability around shared goals. From there, we help cultivate the systems, leadership, and resources needed to sustain momentum over time. Finally, we thread learning and reflection back into the life of the institution, anchoring progress through renewal, integration, and best practices.
The result is not short-term activity, but lasting, mission-aligned growth—rooted in clarity, discipline, and grace.
