Consulting

Consulting with Lonnie Arnold, LLC is designed to move your region from good intentions about unity to a shared, workable plan. Based in Tacoma, Washington, I draw on over four decades of ministry and public service to help you diagnose the real causes of division, bring them under the light of the gospel, and design a path toward visible Christian unity in your city.

I begin by listening carefully to your history: racial tensions, denominational splits, failed partnerships, and current opportunities. From there, I provide Church Unification Planning that clarifies a shared vision, defines realistic goals, and names specific steps for congregations to walk together without losing theological integrity. When multiple traditions are involved, I offer Denominational Collaboration Consulting and Denominational Partnership Planning so leaders know how to cooperate across polity, culture, and style while honoring each group's convictions.

Where race is a central fault line, I provide Racial Reconciliation Strategy Consulting and a detailed Racial Reconciliation Roadmap. These engagements help you move beyond generic diversity conversations into biblically grounded confession, repair, and new patterns of shared life. Pastors and elders leave with language, processes, and rhythms that lower fear and build trust across racial lines.

For regions ready to act together, I guide you through Ministry Partnership Consulting, Collaborative Ministry Strategy, and Geographic Ministry Model Consulting. This is where unity becomes visible: churches sharing responsibility for specific neighborhoods, coordinating evangelism and mercy ministries, and building long-term relational infrastructure among pastors.

The benefit of engaging me is simple: you do not have to guess your way forward. You gain a theologically sound, context-aware partner who has lived the tensions of race, denomination, and public authority, and who knows how to help you move from fragmented efforts to a coherent, citywide witness to Christ's reconciling power.

Pricing may vary between $1750 and $2200 depending on the type of consultation.
