The Goehner Group

Ministry organizations are facing difficult problems. The economy is forcing leaders and boards to make difficult decisions; some of which are very painful. In many cases, these problems have become a crisis that threatens the future of the ministry.

In an effort to assist these organizations, we have begun Goehner Group Management Services. Goehner Group Management Services is prepared to help your ministry move through leadership transitions into organizational health and a new future. Our team will provide leadership to manage the transition and will lead the search for new permanent leadership.

We would welcome a conversation if you are facing problems that appear to be beyond your organizations ability to solve.

It’s always nice to hear from those folks we have helped and to learn that our work is well received.  Here is a recent letter from a client regarding Executive Search coaching that we provided for them.

“As Conference Leaders we want to express our sincere appreciation for the resources, wisdom and discernment that the services of The Goehner Group brought to our search process. We were impressed with the intentionality and rationality of the basic method that you presented to our Search Team, as well as the ways that you helped them uncover the things that made the NAB situation unique.  What you provided was not a template of Executive Placement but, rather, a flexible and responsive coaching model that valued the NAB as an entity.  Support from The Goehner Group made our already strong team much more effective in assessing needs, realities and potential candidates.  The team members continue to express their confidence in the ways you assisted them in shaping the process of the search and in managing the timelines and tasks.” (more…)

CSA Awards Honor Best in Biblical Stewardship

The Christian Stewardship recently honored three individuals and organizations for their exemplary biblical stewardship practices.

Presented at its annual conference before an audience of more than 500 Christian stewardship professionals, the award for Outstanding Stewardship Service Provider was given to The Goehner Group; the award for Outstanding Stewardship Educator was presented to Brian Kluth; and the award for Outstanding Development Practice by a Ministry was given to Campus Crusade for Christ International.

“The Christian Stewardship Association Awards Program is a time to acknowledge those individuals and ministries that exemplify their commitment to, and model, biblical stewardship,” said CSA Board Chair, Ned Kiser. “The people and organizations honored this year demonstrate the spirit of biblical stewardship.” (more…)

And not a moment too soon! Our old website was looking pretty long in the tooth, and there was more we wanted to do. So at the end of 2007 we embarked on the long process of designing and building a new home online. We hope that you’ll find the site easier to navigate, and also a continuing resource for your organization. To that end I have decided to start a “blog” where I can regularly share my thoughts with you. You’ll find all the old articles there, as well as new posts on a variety of topics. We trust the new site will be a blessing to you, and if you have suggestions for how we can continue to improve, please contact us!
