Kerry mackey

Consultant, Speaker, Connector

“While serving as an executive pastor at Saddleback Church, Kerry was on my team. So, I have observed him down in the trenches of local church ministry. I can tell you that he is a high-capacity leader with incredible gifting. But, he also has heart and an engaging personality. Kerry loves the local church and is a friend to the pastor. Because he has served in churches of all sizes and because he is an exceptional system builder, he can help design and develop strategic next steps for your ministry. Through Street to the Seat, Kerry will help you widen the front door of your church and close the back door. “

“As the Membership Pastor at Saddleback Church Kerry had a wide range of responsibilities: Overseeing and Teaching the Membership class, oversight of the totality of the C.L.A.S.S. system and the responsibility of getting people from the street to the seat, the look and feel of Saddleback Church.  Under his leadership the C.L.A.S.S. system was streamlined and the church became more efficient in the assimilation process.  As the Pastor responsible for “Street to the Seat” Kerry had a keen eye for “first time impressions”. He worked with the leadership…to continually define and refine the look and feel of the Saddleback Church campus…Kerry’s pastoral presence was seen and felt in each or our 6 services. Through his leadership of the volunteer greeters, ushers, traffic, medical, baptism, communion people the flow of the weekend services was always great.  Kerry is regarded as a leader…mentoring persons, detailed and very well organized. He is also know as a person who gets results. He is strategic in his thinking and has great ability to execute.  Kerry lead a team of 7 full time staff and 1,014 volunteers. During Kerry’s tenure he increased volunteerism by over 30% in his area of ministry.  Kerry has a deep love for the local church; his heart and passion and his desire to serve Pastors.  I would recommend him to any pastor who wants to hire a consultant to develop processes, training, and organizational structure for his church or as an Executive Pastor in a local church. “

“Kerry really gets invitational church strategies. He’s cracked the code on creating environments that attract and assimilate newcomers into the life of a church family. Having partnered with him on staff in the Saddleback context as well as being coached by him in my new church setting, I’ve consistently been impressed by his sage consultative insight. Kerry is uniquely equipped to assess a church’s present initiatives into its community and then offer laser-focused suggestions for drawing and welcoming people. He has the missional heart of Jesus that beats compassionately for seekers and persons searching for authentic biblical community.”
