We’re excited to introduce something new at Pat Polis Ministries: The Church Mechanic.

Our mission has always been to reclaim the church by providing practical tools and a pathway leading to the church’s health and vitality. We are committed to your church’s health — and we know many pastors feel their church is running rough but aren’t sure what’s wrong or how to fix it.

That’s why we created The Church Mechanic.

Think of it like taking your car to a trusted mechanic. You don’t need a lecture on engine theory — you need someone to diagnose the problem, explain it clearly, and fix it with the right tools. That’s what this new effort is all about: diagnosing what’s keeping your church stuck and giving you practical, biblical, manageable steps to get healthy again.

Built on Nehemiah’s rebuilding principles and 28 years of pastoral leadership revitalizing and growing churches, The Church Mechanic walks you through Diagnose, Repair, and Revitalize — from knowing the why to working the what and how, addressing change and resistance, and moving toward a biblical picture of a reclaimed church.

Visit the new page here: https://patpolisministries.com/the-church-mechanic/ to explore:

  • What The Church Mechanic is and who it’s for
  • How the Diagnose / Repair / Revitalize pathway works
  • Practical tools, resources, and our leadership checklist
  • Ways to get started — from the Reclaiming the Church course to workshops and personal consulting

As we love to say: "Don’t be afraid of change, be afraid of not changing."

If your church feels stuck, tired, or in decline, let’s pop the hood together. Visit The Church Mechanic page and reach out at connect@patpolisministries.com — we’re here to help unhealthy churches get healthy.
