Do Our Approaches Work?
“Dan Bonner has been invaluable in helping us establish a workable, effective approach to new member recruitment and assimilation into small groups. His insight, organizational skill, and personal attention to leadership development have enabled us to have us growing again in this historic congregation.”
Dr. Eric McKinney, Senior Pastor
First United Methodist Church

“At a pivotal time in the life of our urban congregation, CUCR provided the support we needed to set a direction.”
Rev. Heidi A. Peterson, Pastor
Central Presbyterian Church
Kansas City, Missouri
“CUCR’s expertise broke much fertile new ground for our congregation to discover God’s vision for our next chapter. Most important, the CUCR’s leadership was to shepherd our church leadership as the Holy Spirit led us. Six months after affirming the vision CUCR helped us discover and own, we are rapidly becoming a “full-swing” equipping congregation. Dan Bonner’s spiritual gift of discernment is a remarkable gift to the Kingdom and to our church!”
Rev. Ken Brown, Lead Shepherd
Broomfield United Methodist Church
Broomfield, Colorado
“When I think about reinvigorating urban congregations to welcome folks who are different into their fellowships, I first think about Dan Bonner’s work with us. His proven and tested approaches made our urban church jump ahead with a decade of unparallel growth and ministry expansion. I proudly work closely with Dan and the CUCR because I believe he knows how to make our city churches houses of hope for all peoples.”
Rev. Dr. Emanuel Cleaver, II, Senior Pastor
St. James United Methodist Church,
Former Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri,
& current Member of Congress from Missouri
“Dan Bonner led our church from confusion to consensus when he led our strategic planning process. Many of our leaders went in very skeptical about our future. Now we are receiving new neighbors into our church almost every Sunday! The CUCR’s caring approach and insightful methods are two of the biggest human reasons we are now an
exciting, inclusive church.”
