Introduction
I have had the privilege of working with dozens of denominations, hundreds of churches, and thousands of leaders over the last twenty years. The churches come in all shapes, sizes, and flavors from new church plants to large expansive churches numbering in the thousands. Below are some of the leaders and churches I have come along side as a coach, mentor, trainer, and trusted friend. That His Name would be more renown!

Pastor Todd Rettberg:
"Buck has had a huge impact on my life and ministry. He has walked beside through good times and really tough ones. He has given me great insight into how to be more intentional in my ministry and my personal life. I have told many people that without Buck in my life I would not still be in ministry. He has been such a vital part of my life and I am incredibly thankful for him. Our Life Planning times have given me an opportunity to take a snap shot of my life and gain much needed perspective. I have been able to take a look back and move forward with a game plan. I think the lasting results are being able to talk with my wife, Lisa about what we discussed on our day. This has enabled us to navigate current situations and how to see how best to make decisions in the future. "
Dr. Robert Acker, Sr. Pastor:
"Buck Rogers has been invaluable to our church's health and vitality. He's come alongside our staff and board on a regular basis to coach, equip, and help us discern our best future and the path forward. Dr. Rogers is a gifted leader to both the church and marketplace -- I can't recommend him enough."
Peter Leigh, Executive Minister:
"Buck has been coaching me for over 15 years – initially it was face to face when he was a missionary ‘down under’ (aka Australia) and over recent years via phone and Skype. Buck has had a profound impact on me personally and professionally as a coach and mentor and spiritually as he has journeyed with me though the ups and downs of life and ministry. He asks the hard questions, gets the best out of you, and helps you think and process. He’s been a sounding board, a mentor, a strategist, a resource, a prayer warrior, and a supporter. I love the fact that he understands my world but he’s outside it and I can be totally honest, say what I think, and process in the moment without reservation. Buck has been a pressure reliever and a life saver. I’m still going full on in ministry after 20 years and Buck’s been a huge part of that journey."
