Our Field-Tested Tools to Add to Your Toolbox (remember to bend your knees)
Whether it’s onboarding a new employee or helping a staff person develop an annual plan, we’ve developed practical tools that are easily adapted to your environment.
Sunday Comes
Every Seven Days
The reality for most pastors is that our weeks get filled with sermon preparation, meetings, appointments, and administrative tasks that require our immediate attention.
The tyranny of the urgent doesn’t allow for the necessary time to think deeply about systems, structures, and other factors that contribute to team health.
You're in Ministry to Do Ministry
Staffing
Your most important investment as a church is in your team. We've gathered resources to help you hire, onboard, and develop your staff. For example, you'll find job description templates that you can customize ... and more!
Common Issues
Since a team is comprised of people, every team will face common issues: conflict, personality differences, communication, and giving/receiving feedback. Our resources are designed to help improve your team chemistry.
Volunteers
Volunteers are the unpaid teammates that are often overlooked and under-resourced. Thriving churches do more than simply ask for volunteers. They see volunteering as one of the best paths to helping people grow spiritually.
Ken Hensley entered vocational ministry in 1991 and has served as a senior pastor, church planter, and ministry coach. Starting out as a 21-year-old senior pastor, Ken has served churches ranging in size from 75 to 1,200 in great places such as Atlanta, San Diego, San Francisco, and Denver. To further enhance his leadership abilities, Ken earned a masters in business administration in 2021.
In the late 90’s, Ken co-founded a company that helped nonprofits raise money online. Then he joined the early team at Christianity.com, in the “dot-com” days when the donuts were free and you could take unlimited ping pong breaks.
More recently, he has served as a catalyst for church planting in Colorado through Church Planters of the Rockies. In 2014, he helped launch Bridge of Hope, a Denver nonprofit that brings together local churches and single moms on the verge of becoming homeless.
Ken loves the local church and enjoys helping pastors reach their full potential.
