Helping churches unfold the vision

Develop Your Path to Greatness


Sensing a Clarion Call from the LORD, Elder Efrem Keith Simmons, in response to COVID-19, opened a division of The Consulting Group Inc to specialize in the needs of Churches and religious organizations.  COVID-19 revealed that most Churches were not business oriented and needed specialize help to fully develop their unique business models.

Elder Efrem Keith Simmons has successfully operated a consulting business since January 1990.  Elder Efrem has earned a Bachelor of Business Administration (Accounting), Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (Entrepreneurial Studies), and a Master of Professional Studies (Training & Development) all from the University of Memphis.  He has been a Business Coach, Professional Trainer and Consultant for entrepreneurs, CPAs and tax practitioners.

Elder Simmons was Called into the Gospel Ministry in 1994. He was ordained as an Elder in 2004. He has served as a Pastoral Assistant in Administration since 2014.  Efrem thoroughly understands and has specialized insights on the development of finances for Ministries and Churches. Let him help you unfold the vision that God has given you.
