I just want to take a minute and say thanks for visiting the new MinistryWarehouse.com! Our goal is to help churches (like yours) improve their outreach and communication. When I was the Director of Communications for a large church, I was always in search of places where I could share ideas, learn new things, and meet others who did what I did, which was to come up with new ideas on a daily basis, 52 weeks a year. I was unable to find such a place and so I started MinistryWarehouse.com. It's a warehouse full of ideas to help the church.
PowerPoint Sermon Graphics & Promotional Packs
My goal with MinistryWarehouse.com is to first off, provide quality
outreach and communication tools to churches. Having a hard drive full
of Sermon PowerPoint graphics, I thought why not make those available
to others for a very reasonable fee? You can view those here. But what
about all of the other designers that have designs collecting virtual
dust on their hard drives? I thought I'd make a way for them to share
their work with you and then they can also be compensated for their
work as well. You can view those here.
Easy-To-Use Church Websites
Prior to going into ministry, I used to co-own two website development
companies and I've built hundreds of sites for clients all over the
United States. One of the most important entry points for new people to
your church is your website. And there are tons of church websites out
there that are just, well, crummy. So the second area I wanted to help
churches obtain professional, easy-to-use websites. You most likely
didn't get into ministry so you could spend a good
chunk of your time trying to manage your church's website, so we use
professional grade software that makes it super-easy for you to manage
your site in the minimal amount of time possible. You can read more
about our professional website development here.
Job Board
At the church I worked at, I worked with some of
the most talented and gifted people anywhere. And when they were there
doing their job with all of their heart, wow, amazing things got done.
But when we were short staffed, it pretty much affected the entire
church staff as they tried to take up the slack of the unfilled
position. So, I wanted to help churches be able to find amazingly
talented people to fill their staff positions, so I created a job board
so that you can search for and place available jobs online. Check it
out here.
Online Community
Everyone has amazing God-granted gifts that
He gave us to benefit the churches we work at, but we don't always have
those people specifically in our particular church. So I created a way
for us to get to know one another, share ideas, tips, and skills, and
who knows, perhaps even build friendships along the way. Please join
the community and register for your free account here.
Money Saving Ideas, News, Tutorials, Tips and More
One of the joys of working for a non-profit organization is the
persistent struggle of the budget. Money, although we don't like to
think about it, is usually at the forefront of most of our decisions on
what we do and don't do in our churches. I was always looking for ways
to save money on this or that. I was also constantly looking for ideas,
tutorials and more on how I could my job more efficiently as well as
more creatively. I created a way for us to share ideas with each other
as well as tips and more in our news, info & articles section.
I hope to share with you the skills that God has given me and I
hope that you'll do the same with me and the rest of God's Kingdom, and
together, we can make an impact on this world for Him.
Sincerely,
Lance Thompson
President/CEO
