Revitalization
healthy growing churches
IBSA’s Health Team guides discoveries that empower breakthroughs in the lives of churches and pastors. Through a team of pathfinders, coaches, and consultants, we offer churches, associations, and their leaders opportunities for both long-term and short-term revitalization partnerships.
How we can serve your church
Pastoral coaching
A coach can provide life-giving encouragement to help you lead your church toward health and growth.
We can connect Illinois Baptist pastors with a trained coach. After a confidential assessment, the coach and pastor map out a plan together and meet regularly to pursue growth.

CHURCH HEALTH
assessment
In Revelation 2-3, God calls every church to go to Jesus for an honest assessment that leads to breakthrough opportunities. IBSA offers assessments and consultations for any Illinois Baptist church.
These 360-degree assessments can help church leaders get a complete, accurate picture of their church’s Gospel impact, systems, and culture. Follow-up consultations can help churches take next steps.
