the church culture project

equipping Church Leaders to build healthy communities

Churches thrive when leaders are equipped to build healthy cultures. The Church Culture Project partners with pastoral training programs to provide research-backed training that equips future spiritual leaders to steward power wisely, recognize coercive dynamics, and build cultures of trust, transparency, and true spiritual care.

Church leaders hold immense spiritual influence—yet many inherit leadership models and systems that unintentionally embed coercion into church culture. Without awareness and training, even well-intentioned pastors can misuse power in ways that create harm rather than healing.

Through research-backed training, we help leaders identify where coercion is baked into inherited systems and how to cultivate a new kind of church culture—one that is both theologically rich, spiritually empowering and emotionally sustainable.
