At Mission Hills Church we have been working with Mike Arnold for a year and he has been a catalyst in helping us with significant issues of growth, focus, finances and overall ministry effectiveness. Mike is godly, knowledgeable, connected, a straight shooter and he gets the local church. He took time to understand us and our uniqueness to better help us move forward. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone.

I have been one of the fortunate people to call upon Mike as a mentor. Mike is a brilliant coach: truly gifted in seeing and understanding an organization and individual’s potential, helping to navigate and chart a path to professional success. I have worked with Mike to gain clarity on career direction, along with what is truly needed to perform at maximum levels, achieve personal and professional goals and propel top-line growth. As a dear friend and trusted advisor, I have seen results of his proven process in my own life application. If you’re ready to accelerate performance and achieve your strategic goals faster, I highly recommend working with Mike and his organization.

This is one of the easiest recommendations that I have ever had to write because I believe in Mike and his servant’s heart. Mike has served Pathways in so many ways that this recommendation could easily be several pages instead of a few paragraphs. After 23+ years of corporate, Higher Ed, and Not-For-Profit experience evaluating and leading consultants, I can honestly say that Mike sets the bar for professionalism, eye to detail and going the extra mile. His grasp of the strategic mission of the church, and how to operationalize it, is second to none and his ability to articulate it in clear and concise terms accelerates an organizations adoption of the next steps needed to move the ball forward in a purposeful and grace filled way.

I strongly endorse Mike Arnold for any church consulting work. His leadership was essential to helping The Jar break the 200 adult barrier and then guiding us to think “outside of the box.” His leadership was a God-ordained gift to our community and we will be forever thankful. More importantly, the 37 people who were baptized this year will probably never meet Mike, but in heaven I am sure he will be commended for speaking encouragement and vision into my life and the life of The Jar that empowered us to reach the lives of these 37 people.

I will never forget his words the first time we met as we turned to the turning points component of the Vis-Op plan: “Courage Pays Off.” Thanks Mike for having the courage to come to Muncie, IN, and providing leadership that is changing lives for Christ and his Kingdom. Thank you for reminding us to be: “Strong and Courageous.” Joshua 1:9
