Larry Osborne emphasizes the power of a unified church board: “Mark my words. If the boardroom is a war zone, it doesn’t matter what kind of revival you’re having in the sanctuary. In my experience, whenever a board or staff suffers from significant conflict, whether it’s a civil war or a cold war, the whole congregation suffers—even when the conflict is largely kept under wraps. Sin has a way of leaking out.”
Osborne’s words should inspire every church to invest energy and effort into creating a healthy, unified board.
Troy engages with your board in an interactive way, discussing the health of a church board and its relationship with the Lead Pastor. He is practical, insightful, and honors the history and culture of the church. He helps the board see how momentum and impact are tied to the board culture.

What others are saying…
“When I was first pastoring I brought Troy in to speak to my board. His influence and wisdom was priceless for me as pastor. He was able to say things I couldn’t say. He moved my board forward to make some mission critical decisions for us.”
–Kevin Geer, Canvas Church, Kalispell, MT
“Troy came alongside my board and realigned us all to move in the same direction. The Recalibrate process with our board was honestly one of the best things we did as a church. Troy’s insight not only brought our team into harmonious alignment but also reignited our mission with clarity and purpose. For any church on a quest for renewal or setting sail in a new way, Recalibrate is like working with an experienced captain in rough waters as you are navigated into your desired future.”
–Jeff Thorp, Ember Church, Bellevue, WA
“Troy doesn’t just share ideas; he shares insights that have been proven through his years of leadership. As we were working to transition culture, Troy came and met with our staff and our board. It was a critical moment in the history of Life Center, and it’s had a lasting impact. Troy’s work with Recalibrate will be a blessing to you and your church!”
–Tyler Sollie, Life Center, Tacoma, WA
“Having served alongside 3 previous pastors, I understand the need for board training. Pastor Troy has developed a method of instructing new – and experienced – board members that make their time in service much, much easier, more productive, and far less ‘difficult’.
By helping Elders understand what their roles are (and are not), how to make meetings operate most efficiently and effectively, and best of all, how to keep the main thing the main thing – working together with the pastor to ensure the church is all she can be.
I wholeheartedly recommend any church that wants to grow – and ensure their leadership operates at its best – take advantage of Pastor Troy’s training.”
–Don Hoffman, Board Member for decades, New Life, Renton, WA
