In my thirty-six years of ministry, I have worked with several church consultants. Bob Van Baren is, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever dealt with. His process of evaluating our current church situation and then guiding us through an in-depth process of a new blueprint for ministry has been revolutionary. His personal coaching of staff and his investment of time and prayer has demonstrated to me and our leadership that Bob is invested in the success of Crossroads as much as we are! Bob through his gifts/strengths, caring approach, ministry experiences, and training have truly been a gift from God. Because of his work, I believe Crossroads has a very bright future.

Are you a church looking to restructure your leadership processes, design a new ministry, or re-energize a program that has plateaued? Bob Van Baren is highly qualified and he pulls from his firsthand experiences to help your organization with all of these kinds of challenges faced by so many of today's congregations. He is methodical and realistic in his approach and he'll help guide and prepare you and your team to be more efficient and effective with your ministry. I highly recommend that you have a conversation with Bob to see how his expertise might help your organization . . . like he did with ours.

As a client, I had the privilege of being coached by Bob through the Clifton StrengthsFinder's material. His knowledge of StrengthsFinder is outstanding, but he also has an exceptional ability to personalize and apply it. Through my coaching sessions with Bob, I experienced significant growth in my self-awareness, my awareness (and appreciation) of others, and my lens-shift towards building strengths instead of fixing weaknesses. Bob is clearly committed to his work, but also to every person he works with.

If you are considering team growth, team leadership training, or just want to make your company a better place to invest and work, Bob and Vison 2-10 are your answer.
Jeff Hindman, Worship Pastor
The coaching and experience I have gained from Vision 2-10 is invaluable; as a church planter, it has been so helpful to find who I am as well as prepare myself to build a team for the growth of my church!
