Client Testimonials

I am sincerely grateful from the bottom of my heart to Rev. Becky. Not only for her help to me and the rest of the council over the last few months…but for helping our congregation live fully into who we say we are! I can’t thank her enough for doing the work that has allowed me (and I know many others) to have hope and belief that our church is truly the place it has told us it is for so long. I have said since we first interviewed with Rev. Becky that she felt like a therapist for our church. She has been a compassionate and graceful leader during this time and one who is willing to say what needs to be said, to call out people’s toxic behavior, and then to continue to show love and grace to them. I know our congregation is ready to take the next steps on our own. And yet, I will greatly miss Rev. Becky’s presence! She ia an incredible gift. She was a comforting guide as I moved into the church moderator role. There was such comfort knowing she was there to support me and the rest of the council. Again we can’t thank her enough

Marissa Dyk, Moderator, First Congregational United Church of Christ - Sioux Falls, South Dakota

“Rev. Becky possesses the true qualities of an exceptional leader: determination, grit, empathy, grace, and faith. Because of her wide background in various pastoral roles, she is able to bring a great deal of experience and expertise to any position she serves. I personally appreciated how Rev. Becky was always able to provide us with guidance through tough discussions, yet we (the congregation) still had ownership in whatever decision was made. I believe that Rev. Becky's coaching experience ultimately helped us in those difficult situations. She knows when to step forward and also when to step back. Rev. Becky is a strong communicator. She does not hesitate to go out of her way to attend to a matter efficiently by picking up the phone, sending a quick email, or having a face-to-face conversation. Lastly, Rev. Becky is FUN! She can bring light and positivity to any room.”

Audra Bailey, Moderator, First Congregational United Church of Christ - Moline, Illinois

“Becky is the person I most often recommend to churches or pastors in need of coaching because I trust that she will help them sort through "their stuff" and get to the crux of the matter. Time and time again I watch her do this with faithful empathy, boundaried compassion, and truth telling in ways that helps people own the next steps. It brings me joy every time I watch her rightly point out that what we do within the church has the potential to change community.”

Ellis Arnold, Former Associate Conference Minister, Iowa Conference UCC

“After our church lost it’s minister, Rev. Becky David provided guidance and leadership over a two year period to help our church get back on the right track. As our interim pastor, Becky assisted with helping us identify our strengths and needs. She provided us with resources needed to stabilize and move our church towards eventually securing a settled pastor. Through Becky’s collaboration skills, our congregation was able to identify what needed to be changed and helped us develop policies and procedures that made our church stronger. She led numerous congregational conversations, which addressed issues and lead to implementation of a conflict resolution policy, mutual ministry assessment procedures, improved bylaws and more. As a result, our church was able to put together a strong church profile, which has been amagnate to many strong applicants for our settled pastor position.”
