TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
"Really insightful"
"I thought this webinar was really insightful. There were many pertinent points made. I love the church I’m in, but the practices that stunt church growth are unfortunately very common here." - Susan Cafferty
"Food for thought"
"You certainly gave us plenty of food for thought today. I imagine the gratifying element about your work is you have tremendous opportunity to change an individual's perspective. I know several of us in attendance today will have a calmer December because of the ideas you put forth. Wishing you continued success." - Carol Cox, City of Independence, MO
"You will find your foundation of faith firmer"
"I have been blessed to work with Kay as a coach for several years. She has guided me as my church went through major changes in administrative structure and has walked with me through the best and worst of my ministry to date. In Kay, I have found wise council, humor, vision and above all a deep and abiding faith in Christ and in the Church. She speaks the truth in such a way that even when I have not wanted to hear it, I find myself grateful she spoke. I frequently find returning to notes taken during our coaching sessions to glean guidance she has offered through the years. If you are fortunate enough to have Kay come beside you in this work we are called to, you will be strengthened in ways that go beyond simply gaining a skill set. You will find your foundation of faith firmer." - Rev. Christina Hart-Perkins
"A tremendous difference"
"My first interactions with Kay Kotan began over the phone. It was a gift that she was the coach assigned to me as a pastor. With her skills and insights we began a professional relationship that has added greatly to my ministry, now for years. When I was at a crossroads regarding a major change in my career, she was the one I called. When I began to work to revitalize a church, Kay was my first choice as the person to coach our congregation. Her ability to help us discover truth, think strategically and live into an ever changing culture continues to be invaluable in our growing church. Kay is a person of integrity, adaptability, leadership and compassion whose contributions to my ministry and my life have made a tremendous difference. I am grateful for that first coaching call." - Rev. Lori Lampert, The Downtown Church Missouri Annual Conference of the UMC
