Endorsements

Our team seemed to be unraveling after a separation from our XP. I engaged Monarch 246 after a mentor of mine referred me to Yoel Bartolome. Yoel became the Executive Coach to our senior leadership team during a tumultuous period of transition. He added so much stability and value to our team; he can draw on nearly three decades of executive pastor experience in complex environments, and that wisdom is so valuable. Each of our team members received decision-making support that was deep and intelligent. They also received comprehensive, individualized developmental coaching from Yoel. I saw them grow in their executive presence, skills, and professionalism as a result of his input. Yoel was also a gift to me. As the Lead Pastor of a large church without an executive pastor, I needed support. I needed a partner to process things with; I needed someone who could step in and give the insight, wise counsel, and oversight the team needed; Yoel did just that. I highly recommend Monarch 246 for ministry coaching, staff support, and strategy development!

Lead Pastor, Centerpoint Church

Founder & Author, Filled to Flow

Five years in and I felt stuck. The first two years of restarting The Father's House was sheer survival mode during the Pandemic. The next three years we found some forward momentum and built some solid teams. Even with all this, I knew we still hadn't tapped into the potential God had for our Church in reaching our community and making disciples. We kept bumping up against the 300 attendance barrier and I was not content to just sit back and slowly decline. I needed someone to ask me some clarifying questions, focus my vision, and rally my team to a season of possibility and growth. Maintenance mode was simply not an option but an expensive consultant wasn't in the budget. Enter Yoel Bartolome and Monarch 246. Yoel brings that unique mix of someone with over 30 years of full-time ministry experience with various church sizes matched with a strategic ability to ask the questions that have clarified our path forward. We just finished our first leadership retreat with Yoel and I have never seen our team more excited about the future with actual practical next steps for the new year ahead! I can't recommend Yoel Bartolome and Monarch 246 enough. Ready to get unstuck in 2026? Start here!

Lead Pastor, The Father's House

As the lead pastor of Movement Church in San Marcos, I can honestly say the Monarch 246 team has been a God send to us. Their wisdom, process, and care have brought fresh clarity to our mission and vision, helping us name what God was already doing in our house and align our team around it. Monarch 246 has also invested deeply in us as leaders, helping us build a healthier house by becoming healthier ourselves. Because of their partnership, we are not just inspired; we are moving forward with greater focus, health, and confidence in the call God has given our church.
