About US

We live in a day when many ministries, retreats, seminars and consultants are arrayed to help lead an individual to health and spiritual wholeness. Since 2006, we have specialized in healing of a different kind – corporate healing, the healing of a whole church or ministry.

According to our Savior’s word, the local church is Body of which Jesus is the Head (Eph. 4:16; 5:21-32; 1Cor. 12). That Body can experience a variety of injuries and diseases which, unless addressed, will impact the spiritual life of all involved and limit the effectiveness of all ministry initiatives, no matter how sincere, gifted, experienced, educated or committed the leaders and people may be.

Whether your church needs healing from moral damage or division or wants to avoid the pitfalls that lead to diminished ministry fruitfulness, we hope you’ll peruse our website. Take advantage of our free Starter Kit to learn more about corporate healing. Or pick up one of our books to explore more deeply a relevant topic. And, of course, you can always contact us about next steps.

Our Beliefs

Our Vision:

At Blessing Point Ministries we long to see God restore the radiance of Christ’s Bride, one church at a time, and in so doing spark a movement that transforms the Church and culture at large (Eph. 2:22; 5:27; Rev. 19:7).

Our Mission:

We work to facilitate healing in ministries that have been wounded and limited by painful events in their past.

“I’ve experienced my share of pain in pastoral ministry. Having been a pastor for twenty-three years, many of them in a church under God’s discipline for the failure of leadership years before I got there, I now realize how important it is to rightly assess a local church’s history-and what Christ is saying to that church-if a pastor seeks God’s best for his people. That’s why I am so excited to be a part of Blessing Point. We’ve watched God restore and heal churches which were in indescribable pain and causing pain to their pastors and lay leaders.

“I experienced the ‘Healing the Heart of Your Church’ process of Blessing Point Ministries while serving as an elder in our church. This provided a ‘next level up’ understanding of the church as a corporate body. God is often limited in using us as individuals when we are lacking in our personal spiritual fitness. He has the same limitations with a church when its corporate spiritual fitness is lacking. Blessing Point Ministries provided the avenue for our congregation to deal with and correct our corporate spiritual fitness. I desire for Blessing Point Ministries to reach as many churches as possible with this process. I am excited for God to use me in this ministry to help accomplish its goals.”
