We do provide sermon research, leadership consultation, and custom curriculum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/1626901811797-GWB1955ADW7SZ1WMCRVI/unsplash-image-mO9vKbG5csg.jpg Home - Why There isn’t enough time in the day for pastors to do all the things they need to do. The modern pastor is an administrator, organizer, and strategic planner, but many pastors weren't trained to do these things in seminary or didn't get into pastoral ministry for these reasons. We leverage our Researchers to maximize our client's time and help them focus on the things they are called to do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/1626889633380-H60PPLMHSPW7X6NZ66GK/unsplash-image-sgdyBq6kheQ.jpg Home - How We carefully pair graduate-level researchers with our clients based on theological compatibility, and we develop relationships with clients to get to know what resources would enrich their ministry. https://www.docentgroup.com/services daily 0.75 2021-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/1626890733641-ER4SVN65IA8JEQ04SEA5/unsplash-image-cckf4TsHAuw.jpg Services - Research Our research services range from book summaries to congregational surveys to sermon prep and planning assistance.

And because our curriculum does not have a licensing fee, it is often more affordable for most churches. https://www.docentgroup.com/curriculum daily 0.75 2021-07-28 https://www.docentgroup.com/consulting daily 0.75 2021-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Consulting https://www.docentgroup.com/research daily 0.75 2021-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Research https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Research https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Research https://www.docentgroup.com/additional-services daily 0.75 2021-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/1626890733641-ER4SVN65IA8JEQ04SEA5/unsplash-image-cckf4TsHAuw.jpg Additional Services - Church Surveys Docent partners with churches to develop and conduct congregational surveys. Each of our surveys is custom designed in order to tap into a church’s unique DNA and address each church’s specific questions and concerns. After your survey is written, Docent will build it in digital format and help you collect responses from congregants. We then analyze the data and provide you with a full report with charts and explanations of the findings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/1626890643056-8C0C65VQ9K85PSML591U/nik-macmillan-280300-unsplash-small.jpg Additional Services - Demographics Using up-to-date government data gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau as well as other trusted sources, Docent can provide detailed, easy-to-digest reports on the demographic and cultural makeup of specific areas and regions that are of interest to you and your ministry goals. Our demographic reports typically include vital information on an area’s composition based on ages, racial groups, incomes, educational attainment, housing values, family structures, and much more. Every report is different and customizable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/1626890659438-TSPA5BIO7ACK8CW4L5TJ/francesca-tirico-450423-unsplash-small-1024x683.jpg Additional Services - Position Papers Docent has extensive experience working with large churches to craft position papers that communicate church belief and policy in clear, easy-to-follow terms. We work with a team of research assistants to develop a statement and then review the work with the pastoral team of the church before the church releases the statement for their congregation to read. This process allows the church leadership to work with a team of writers to draft a strong statement that communicates both clearly and sensitively with church members. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/1626895237763-VCSL1200X3G0YXWXAI5J/unsplash-image-XOW1WqrWNKg.jpg Additional Services - Book Summaries Docent can help you keep up with the latest big releases or provide a useful overview of a classic book you want to read but won’t get to anytime soon. Docent’s archive of book summaries includes 300 summaries of authors ranging from Bill Hybels to Tim Keller to John C. Maxwell. Docent partners can also request new book summaries and specify the kind of summary they would like--a two point overview with bullet points or an in-depth analysis of the book’s arguments. The book summaries are yet another way that Docent partners with pastors to equip them for fruitful ministry. https://www.docentgroup.com/team daily 0.75 2025-02-12 https://www.docentgroup.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-12-11 https://www.docentgroup.com/book-summaries daily 0.75 2021-07-28 https://www.docentgroup.com/church-surveys daily 0.75 2021-07-23 https://www.docentgroup.com/demographics daily 0.75 2021-07-28 https://www.docentgroup.com/position-papers daily 0.75 2021-07-28 https://www.docentgroup.com/sermon-research daily 0.75 2021-07-22 https://www.docentgroup.com/sermon-series-planning daily 0.75 2021-07-22 https://www.docentgroup.com/faqs daily 0.75 2024-08-16 https://www.docentgroup.com/endorsements daily 0.75 2024-01-04 https://www.docentgroup.com/pastor-conference daily 0.75 2021-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/2de8102e-1214-497c-a52b-596eb45d8fb6/Small+Group+Curriculum+Sample+1.jpg Customized Curriculum Samples Design Available https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/17f1802b-6a34-42cd-af22-a28eb6a01e3c/Small+Group+Curriculum+Sample+2.jpg Customized Curriculum Samples Application Focused https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/a0a0ccad-901b-4704-9d7b-19943db11c9a/Sermon+Curriculum+Sample+1.jpg Customized Curriculum Samples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/5a2ba89b-fb5c-409d-b5a2-49c55f79fbfb/Sermon+Curriculum+Sample+2.jpg Customized Curriculum Samples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/4bd2b146-3516-439e-82f7-de81014e909c/Small+Group+Curriculum+Sample+3+%28Leadership+Pipeline%29.jpg Customized Curriculum Samples Leader's Guide https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0cd42a6ece5d7f482cbac9/6833e161-17ed-46a2-9531-13a859538606/Sermon+Curriculum+Sample+3.jpg Customized Curriculum Samples
