Our consultants are at the core of what we do.
Sometimes the hardest thing for a member of a subscribing church to do is remember that they are not alone. All it takes is an email, a phone call, or a visit. There is always someone at the Center here to help you!
Our team of consultants have expertise in various areas of church work and they will work with any church member in whatever way is most convenient: telephone or online through email or our online meeting software, Zoom, or in person. Lately we have even had people text us requests.
Membership has its privileges.
By joining the Practical Resources for Churches, congregations can keep staff costs low with help from PRC. Our professional consultants can act as adjunct staff for your church. Member churches get access to hundreds of PRC resources, professional training, and can attend our workshops and events for free or at a reduced rate.
