ReWire Consulting Services

Our approach is rooted in the belief that every church has a unique calling and capacity for transformation. By integrating proven models of missional engagement and spiritual formation, we help churches move beyond traditional paradigms to become dynamic communities of faith, service, and growth

Our goal is to reimagine the Church for Mission and Formation in our hurting world.  So, at ReWire, we partner with churches to re-envision their structures, leadership, and discipleship models, aligning them with the missional and formational heart of Jesus. Drawing inspiration from pioneering communities, we offer tailored consulting services to help your church embody its unique calling in today’s context.

Our Consulting Services

  • ReWire Vision

    • Surveys and Assessments: We begin by understanding your current landscape through comprehensive surveys. Each survey is based on ReWire’s 5 Missional Shifts and customized to capture beliefs about the church's effectiveness.from the Board Members, Pastoral Leadership and the Congregation. 

    • Retreats: We facilitate retreats that help in discerning God’s vision for your community. Our retreats adhere to Jesus Kingdom Values for the church.Retreats will include statistical data from the surveys, times of deep prayer/discernment and  best practices from our Lead Consultants who are highly educated and have many years experience in multiple church structures. 

  • ReWire Discipleship

    Missional Spiritual Formation - We help teams transition from traditional discipleship models to ones that emphasize mission-oriented spiritual growth through two programs:

    • Beyond:

    • Deep waters: Deep Waters is a 1-year covenant community formation intensive. The Deep Waters process is designed for missionally centered micro-communities in order to establish sustainability in formation, community, and mission. 

  • ReWire Leadership

    We equip and coach leaders with the skills to cultivate a vision and offer deep spiritual guidance in their community. We do this work through two programs:

    • Missional Leader Cohorts: Missional Leader Cohorts (MLC) are a set of 5 retreats over two years that are designed to provide direction for you to rethink, retool, and renew your leadership. This is done in a community of pastors/leaders who are on the same missional journey.

    • Synergy Training: Synergy is a self-paced journey through the core pillars of missional spiritual formation and ReWire pedagogy. While you determine the timing of your progress through the Synergy journey, we accompany you every step of the way. 

  • ReWire Church Structure

    • Missional and Micro Church Models: Drawing inspiration from missional church models, we assist in restructuring your church to be more missionally effective and community-oriented.

Case Study:
Lakeside Church

ReWire transformed Lakeside Church into a missional force for good in a San Francisco neighborhood that serves and nurtures the poor in their city.

Case Study: Lakeside Church, San Francisco 
Lead Consultant: JD Ward
General Consultant: Kathy Corcoran

  • Lakeside Church, a large Presbyterian church in the Sunset District of San Francisco was experiencing challenges with harnessing the call of their congregation. ReWire proposed our Essentials Program and providing Formation Training to the Pastor and Church Community.

  • To address these issues, ReWire partnered with Lakeside’s pastoral team and congregation to implement a spiritual formation program rooted in social justice.  The new program featured 3 Major curriculum interventions. 1. a Mission Leader Cohort for the Leadership team focused on the missional shifts needed to rewire the church, 2. Deep Waters retreats for the Board to experience living in spiritual community , and 3. Beyond Discipleship Formation Program for the congregation. 

  • Since implementing the new consulting programs and training 30 leaders, Lakeside Church has seen significant improvements: 

    • Service to the Poor: Over 25 adults have organized and delivered food and prayer weekly to the poor in their San Francisco neighborhood. They moved delivery outside the church walls so more people would feel comfortable attending. Now, they feel reconnected with Jesus and seek deeper connections with the poor and their church alike.

    • Opened Doors to another Church: A local church was in need of space for their services but had very little money to purchase space in San Francisco. The Lakeside pastor and the group of 25 adults decided to open up their church chapel for these strangers. They now mix services between the chapel and the sanctuary while singing and praying together. 

    • Committed to Formation and Prayer: The congregation and staff of Lakeside are committed to the spiritual formation process. They have participated in ReWire’s core curriculum, run retreats, and have shared their spirituality with the city of San Francisco for the last 10 years.

This case study highlights the importance of investing in a group of people with missionary hearts. They were able to put others before themself while seeing God in all people. Lakeside's success demonstrates that a well-designed skill based and contemplative program can be a powerful tool for growth of our people and more importantly, our church.
