WHY WAYFINDER
Our world desperately needs churches and ministries to thrive. We need the Gospel to be proclaimed, God to be worshiped, and authentic community to be revived.
With our world changing so rapidly, casting vision, creating a culture, developing strategies, and building teams to make these goals a reality is not easy. That is why John Denny felt called to begin WayFinder. He realized that many churches and ministries do not have the financial resources to pay consultants. So he formed WayFinder as a 501c3 to provide high quality consulting services, so that every church and ministry can thrive!
John can help you find God's way to thrive...
