Consulting/Mentoring Services

Consulting Inquiry Form

     Over thirty years experience in music ministry, including twenty years as music director at Willow Creek Community Church, has made Rory Noland a logical choice for consulting and/or mentoring in the field of arts ministry. Rory has taught hundreds of workshops around the world on a variety of topics related to arts ministry such as:

• Nurturing/Discipling Artists
• Dealing with Character Issues in the Lives of Artists
• Achieving Excellence - Taking Your Arts Ministry the Next Step
• Spiritual Formation for Artists
• Meeting the Community Needs of Your Artists
• Building, Leading and Managing a Comprehensive Church Music Ministry
• Transitioning from Traditional to Contemporary Styles of Worship

     Whether you require assistance with ministry strategizing, problem solving, or leadership development, a consulting/mentoring arrangement can be custom fit to suit your needs, regardless of whether your church is located in the Chicago area. Examples of several consulting arrangements are:

1. Ongoing partnerships. In this type of arrangement, Rory can be contracted for a set period of time, usually 3 months to a year. Goals, schedule, fees and other details are tailored to suit your needs.
2. One day consulting. In this setup, Rory comes to your church for a day (or more) of consulting. For churches outside the Chicago area this "fly in/fly out" option is very popular; Rory flies in during the morning, spends the entire day with you and other key leaders and then flies out in the evening.

     Many churches enlist the services of consultants not only for their valuable expertise, but also because it's economical. Especially in an ongoing consulting relationship, it's like adding a staff member without paying a full-time salary and benefits.
