"Jay is consistently one of the wisest, most trustworthy voices in the wonderful field of children's ministry today.  His advice and insight is unfailingly honest and fresh.  He is a key influence that I rely upon frequently to provide proven expertise to and practical help for all our children's ministry leaders for Children's Ministry Magazine and Children's Ministry Professional Edition."

Jennifer Hooks, Managing Editor of Children's Ministry Innovations, Group Publishing

"Church Team Connections was a God send into my life as a leader and into the ministry of our church.  Jay and Donna are an exceptional team with a heart for God and His kingdom.  They helped us proactively enter a journey of “going to the next level” as a church.  The fruit of their leadership has been abundant.  This kind of advancement in the church is quite challenging, and Jay and Donna have made it as joyous, peaceful, seamless and effective as possible."

Jason Nelson, Executive Director of Ministry, Third Church, Pella, IA

"Jay is a coach who will listen to you, challenge you and walk alongside you in your leadership journey.  His coaching will help you achieve higher levels of leadership.  Like a smart coach, he helps you see what kind of leader you are, but he casts vision to help you grow as a leader.  Of course, I may be a bit biased--Dad was my coach while I was playing little league baseball and now he's my leadership coach!"   

Todd Hostetler, Minister to Children, Grace Chapel, Denver, CO

"I prayed for a ministry coach for awhile and the Lord connected me with Donna.  I appreciate her insight, ministry experiences, and prayers.  Donna is easy to talk to.  She's such a blessing to me both in difficult times and when ministry is going well."

Julia Yuen, Minister to Children, Crestwood Baptist Church, Crestwood, KY  

"Jay and Donna provided us with a thorough evaluation and plan action items that we can implement now and in the future. Their warm and approachable spirit made it easy for our children's ministry team and volunteers to communicate openly in regard to the needs of our ministry."

Sam Rijfkogel, Senior Pastor, Grand Rapids First Assembly of God, Grand Rapids, MI

"Jay and Donna have been an incredible resource for our church. Even though our children's ministry was stable and growing, we knew it had room to grow and get better. They have helped us do a complete evaluation and they have proposed a number of changes that we have now implemented. The impact of these changes has been powerful in breathing new life, energy and excitement in our kidzone."
 

Jack Warren, Executive Pastor, Fellowship Bible Church North, Plano, TX

"Jay has been a key to help us transition from a small church to a larger church. His knowledge of children in our culture has been a great benefit to help us adapt our growing children's program. Jay started with us as a coach for our children's pastor and has also been a great personal coach for me as well."
 

Mike Quinn, Senior Pastor, Canyon View Christian Fellowship, San Diego, CA

"Jay and Donna offered some very good suggestions that we will use. They helped us be more prepared for the future. Great job."
 

Phil Goss, Pastor Faith Assembly of God, N. Ft. Myers, FL

"Upon arrival in State College, we found Donna to be very easy to work with. We found her to be a wealth of knowledge and wisdom when it came to the details of running an excellent children's ministry.  She helped us move toward more effective staff function, better facility use, and gave us general children's ministry guidance. I highly recommend her."                                

Sherilyn Jameson, Children's Pastor, Calvary Baptist Church, State College, PA

"I believe Jay and Donna did an excellent job in explaining, assisting and preparing our staff for the ministry evaluation as well as organizing focus group with kids, parents and other volunteers. The written report by Church Team Connections was challenging and affirming."
