Churches Deserve a Trusted, Free Resource Center. We're Building It.

Imagine it's Monday morning. You're a lead pastor. Sunday went well, but now your desk is stacked with decisions.

Your church management software isn't working the way you need it to. Your volunteer coordinator just quit, and you don't have a job description to post. Your executive pastor is asking for a strategic planning template you don't have. And somewhere in your inbox is a vendor pitch promising to solve all your problems for a price you're not sure is fair.

You didn't go into ministry for this.

You went into ministry to preach the Gospel, love people, and build something that matters eternally. But right now, you're drowning in operational chaos—and there's no single trusted place to go that just tells you what works.

That's exactly the problem that Empower Ministry is building a Resource Center to solve.

"Find the Best. Eliminate the Rest."

The Empower Ministry Resource Center will be a free digital platform that gives ministry leaders instant access to tools, systems, and resources that actually work, ones that are already researched, validated, and organized so you don't have to start from scratch.

Think CliffsNotes for running a church. Real, proven, best-practice tools that high-performing churches are using right now, curated by a team that did the homework for you. And for topics in which excellent resources don't exist, our team will be bridging those gaps.

And get this: The resource center will always be completely free. This won't be a product launch. It will be a Kingdom investment.

What You'll Find Inside

Core Church Operations: The Resource Center's will tackle one of ministry's most painful gaps: the operational side of ministry that no seminary prepares you for. Org charts, job descriptions, process maps for critical workflows, planning tools, and more.

A Vendor Guide You Can Actually Trust: Every pastor has a vendor horror story. The software that overpromised. The contractor who overcharged. The resource center's vetted vendor directory will cut through all of it. Every recommendation will be earned through rigorous evaluation, not paid placement. Over time, Empower Ministry will also develop a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO), so churches can pool their buying power and negotiate pricing no single church could get alone. The savings will go directly back into ministry.

The Best of the Ministry Ecosystem: Empower Ministry isn't building this alone. World-class ministry resources already exist; they're just scattered. That's why the resource center will integrate tools and content from open network organizations and our Priority Impact Partners. One login. One destination. The best ministry has to offer.

Why This Matters Eternally

Our long-term goal is 1,000,000 annual engagements with the Resource Center. One million moments where a ministry leader finds the tool they need, implements a missing system, or makes a decision that moves their church forward—rippling outward into congregations, communities, and individual lives.

The Foundation measures its work in EROI—Eternal Return on Investment. Not revenue. Not market share. Souls. More people coming into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ because the churches pursuing them are better equipped and better led.

The Empower Ministry Resource Center is a long-term vision being built one faithful step at a time. If you're a ministry leader, it's being built for you. If you want to help make it a reality, learn about our careers.
