Since such an analysis requires time and money that can be spent elsewhere, it is wise to think about whether purchasing an analysis is feasible. I do not promise magical solutions. But I can offer your organization a valuable service that is worth that time and money. Here are some reasons why you should consider hiring Reconciliation Consulting to meet some of the needs of your church or Christian organization. 1) EXPERIENCE IN QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS - You probably have a lot of irons in the fire. It is unreasonable for you to also have expertise and training in conducting interviews, surveys focus groups etc. I have published in some of the finest academic journals in the country. I also have years of experience in constructing surveys, conducting interviews, and running focus groups as well as analyzing the results of this work. 2) ACCURACY IN OBTAINING INFORMATION - A bad job in conducting surveys, interviews or focus groups can be worse than not doing any research at all. Inexperience individuals can obtain the wrong information that leads to bad decisions. But used correctly these research tools will yield a wealth of valuable knowledge. I have the training and expertise to use these techniques accurately, giving you more confidence in the results we obtain. 3) TO ENERGIZE OR LEGITIMATE NEEDED CHANGES - Sometimes organizational change is necessary, but the current members of the organization are comfortable with the status quo. As a Christian leader you can use our report to motivate your congregation to make needed changes. Having a report that concurs with the need for change often helps you gain more support for the decision to move your church or Christian organization in the right direction. My final report will be objective and does not agree with a pastor or leader merely because we are hired, however if the report does concur with that pastor/leader's ideas then he/she will have a powerful tool to energize a congregation or Christian organization. 4) AN AFFORDABLE PRICE - You will get a complete breakdown of the costs of our work before I agree to do a job. I will do everything we can to keep the price down. But please feel free to compare our costs to other research firms. Because I do not have a large overhead I can generally do the work that other research firms do for a lower price. 5) TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR CHURCH OR CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION - When you hire RC to do research you will gain my full sociological expertise. The techniques I use allow me to learn a great deal about your congregation/ministry and the people in it. Furthermore, I can conduct research of the surrounding neighborhoods, allowing you to learn about the needs of your target audience. Such knowledge will be critical as you plan the future direction of your church or religious organization. 6) CHRISTIAN CHARACTER - Because we are a Christian company we understand the people in your congregation or Christian organizations much better than secular research firms. I also am quite knowledgeable about the general goals of Christian organizations. This knowledge actually will help us construct projects designed to specifically provide for the unique needs that Christian organizations have.
