McHugh & Chen are trained congregational consultants who have assisted congregations in crisis, in conflict and/or in transition between pastors. Congregation mediation is particularly useful when congregations are coping with numerical growth or decline; anticipating a building or capital campaign; moving through a pastoral transition; preparing for long-range planning; anticipating staff changes; recovering from an organizational trauma.
The consultations have included:
- pastor/congregation conflicts
- interpersonal conflicts
- value based disputes
- congregational analysis
- governance
- communication
- member relations
- conflict pattern
- congregational processes
- mission and identity
- congregational characteristics
- structure
- ideology
