Episcopal Church Foundation Vestry Papers - for leading congregations

This tool is for congregational leaders who are considering hiring a consultant - or professional resource - to assist them in reaching their goals. Here is a checklist for selecting a professional resource, including:

• Scope of Work
• Selection Process
• Service Agreement
• Evaluation

We encourage you to enter this process deliberately, with “an inquiring and discerning heart.” Your congregation’s vision and commitment, combined with professional expertise, often enhances the success of a project. You will need to create a budget, hire the best professional you can within that budget, and invest your time and energy into building a successful working relationship to achieve your goals.
