https://churchanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/A-team-joining-hands-together-in-unity.png1200628If I counted correctly, Church Answers has received 41 consultation requests from churches in 20 states in the past few months. The churches represent 23 denominations, while the rest are non-denominational. The congregations cover the continental United States: Missouri, California, North Carolina, Colorado, Georgia, Washington, South Carolina, Alabama, Wisconsin, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Indiana, New York, West Virginia, Florida, Connecticut, Louisiana, Texas, and Arizona. We are not surprised that North Carolina is our number one source of church clients. We are surprised that New York is number two. We would be close to 50 states if we counted individual coaching of pastors. We began in 1988 as Church Growth Visions. I did three consultations that year. We then became the Rainer Group before we became Church Answers. I would not be surprised if we are soon on a pace of 100 consultation requests a year, plus thousands of specific questions we answer each year. My best estimate is over 3,000 per year. We know that about 250,000 churches get information or resources from us every year.
