Periscope Solutions exists to partner with companies, non-profits, and churches and help recognize their next steps in engaging with their audience.
Vision beyond the visible.
The biggest problem organizations have at times is identifying the next step, and what needs changing.
Change…It seems like such a small word, a small piece of the pie, yet it is one of the most difficult things to see, plan, and implement. Not “throw a new paint color up” change, or “lets create an app for that” change. The kind of change we’re talking about is achievable  change that takes the right recipe of innovation and persistence. Not just changing systems, but asking what purpose the system serves to begin with.
After working in and with churches and organizations for almost two decades, we’ve seen countless stories of consultants who come in, interview staff, and offer a solution that may be desirable, but it seems unachievable. 
That’s why Periscope Solutions exists. Imagine walking into your work everyday, knowing where you going, and what to tackle next! Whether you’re a church, business, or non-profit, its our desire to come along side of you and help you identify achievable progress. Whether it’s the message you are putting out, or how your putting out you’re message, we want to make what you have to say accessible to the most amount of  people possible, increasing your influence and identifying the parts of the vision that seem hard to identify. Our goal is to help provide “vision beyond the visible.”
It starts with:
1) Having a conversation with us about where your organization currently is and what you would like to work toward.
2) Identifying the obstacles to keep you from your stated goal.
3) Working with us to implement a plan to tackle those obstacles and what resources you need to overcome them! I know, that sounds really simple, but often, when you’re in the whirlwind of the day-to-day, you can’t identify the priorities over the urgent to get the ball rolling…that is why we’re here… to help!
2 Basic Packages:
1) 5 hours / month in virtual coaching and consulting.
2) On-site visit with team. One pre-visit meeting, and two follow-up meetings after on-site visit.
To do this well, we don’t take on more clients than we can handle, so space is LIMITED!

What Others Say

“Adam and I often find ourselves in similar situations. We work with some pretty influential people and artists in locations all over the world. We also have opportunity and feel called to pour into the local church and try to effect culture, creativity and work flow in a meaningful, tangible way. Over the years, I have discovered that having a trusted source to interact with is invaluable. Adam has a unique, clever and sometimes whimsical way of coming up with answers to some of the most difficult and challenging situations. He is just good at this new world of ministry, technology and business that is certainly not for the faint of heart. He thrives in it. He is a creator, intellect, theologian, gifted musician and pretty good friend, not to mention amazing father and husband. Adam Lancaster is one who has cast vision and forward movement to myself and countless others. He then helps, inspires and creates pathways for you to get there.”

“Through the years, God has given Adam Lancaster experience and opportunities to grow and understand organizational life and in particular church life.  As someone who has a heart for pastors and local churches, I see the same in Adam.  I have found him to be a great listener, and someone who processes what is being discussed well.  He’s not afraid to speak truth into any situation, and has a unique ability to encourage others in their journey.  Time spent with Adam Lancaster is a good investment.” 

Bruce Aubrey
Senior Pastor/Northside Baptist Church, Liverpool, NY

 

“I would say one the strongest characteristics I’ve noticed in the years that I’ve known Adam is his sincerity in relationships. I have never felt like I was waisting his time when we’ve spend time together. Adam has graciously made space for me over the years.
Another characteristic I truly enjoy is talking shop with Adam. He is sincerely interested in how teams can better themselves and stay fresh in our ever changing culture. He also has strong leadership skills which I’ve identified in conversations with him and in observing his leadership from afar with Charles Billingsley and TRBC.”

Scott Butler
Executive Pastor/Atlantic Shores Baptist Church, Virginia Beach

 

“I have had the privilege of knowing and being able to work with Adam for over a decade. Adam has been an instrumental voice in my own personal transitions as well as a great counselor for the many transitions of ministry that I have walked through. Adam’s creativity is as good as it gets. Because of his own experience, education, and success, he has the ability to see solutions that reach beyond what you can often see in the cloudiness of your own circumstances. But beyond his abilities, Adam is just flat out relational. He cares about people, he cares about churches, he cares about organizations. Not only is he an excellent resource, he is a man who will walk the road with you.. and you will be better for it!”

Senior Pastor/Cornerstone Church, Dover, DE

About

Adam Lancaster was born in Winston-Salem, NC and was involved in music at an early age. He started participating in his home church’s music program when he was barely a teenager.“I was the youngest of three kids, and since there was a 13 year gap between me and the next oldest child, I got dragged to everything. I can remember going up the stairs behind the choir loft to the balcony where our drummer played (it was an Independent Baptist Church).”
During high school, Adam made money for himself by playing for weddings with his piano teacher. After graduating from high school in 1999, he attended Liberty University. Adam was a member of the traveling group “YouthQuest” for two years, where they traveled each weekend ministeringto high school kids. Every summer during his college years, he traveled with CCA(Christian Cheerleaders of America) leading worship in their camp services. His junior year, he joined the group “Eternal Praise” which was the worship leading team for the campus at LU.
At this time, he began working in the Campus Pastor’s Office with worship pastor, Eric Lovett. In the spring of 2002, Eric resigned and Charles Billingsley came to Lynchburg to be the worship pastor of Thomas Road and lead worship at LU. That fall, Adam and Charles formed what is known today as the Liberty University “Worship Collective” and started working together on the road as Charles led worship for many events each year. Upon Graduating from LU in May of 2003, Adam married Liesel and began working at Liberty University, planning the worship services and assisting Scott Bullman in the Department of Ministry Teams.
In 2005, he and Liesel joined Charles and his family in moving to San Diego to work with Dr. David Jeremiah and the ministries of Shadow Mountain Community Church and Turning Point. During their two years there, Adam was on the worship staff of Shadow Mountain and worked with Charles developing two projects and assisted in Turning Point events and projects. “Those two years were to this point, probably the most informative and instructive years I’ve had,” stated Adam. He cherishes the relationships that were built during this brief time in CA. In April 2007, Adam and Liesel moved back to Lynchburg where Adam took over the Thomas Road Studio and joined the staff of TRBC and LU. He developed the layout and equipment of the studio and began recording projects in the studio as well as working with the worship offices of both entities. Since returning, Adam has produced or managed close to a dozen projects, including 3 Charles Billingsley Projects. In 2009, he produced the project “God of the Ages: Live at Thomas Road”which was the kick-start material for Red Tie Music. In 2010, Adam took stepped into the position of directing the orchestra at Thomas Road along with continuing to manage the studio. Adam and Charles continue to work together on the road leading worship all over the country.In 2015, after the birth of their fourth child, Adam took on a different role at Thomas Road, Director of Messaging and Presentation. “Details matter, and little things have big messages” is Adam’s viewpoint as he oversees the branding and presentation of the church. “How you interact with a product or service tells people almost subconsciously the value they place on it. Everything from how people are greeted, to what things they see on the walls, to what is talked about and presented in the church services sends people messages about what we value, as well as what they should value.”

Adam leads the Creative Department of TRBC which is comprised of the communications department, production team, as well as the video storytelling team and is the Chief Creative Officer. He still directs the music for services and works very closely with the worship team to produce events and services.

Adam and Liesel have four children; Journey, Eva, Connor and Hank. They call Lynchburg home and have built many wonderful relationships with friends there over the years. As for what’s next, Adam says ” I love helping organizations look at the future and have conversations about how to adapt and change…it’s a necessity, and in church work, we must always be looking ahead and how we can continue to share the good news of Jesus.”
