Helping Pastors be More Effective

No one has to tell you how challenging ministry can be. Pastors are preaching to people with short attention spans, ministering in change-adverse churches, while reaching out to gospel-resistant communities.  Yet, they still bear the responsibility of preaching biblical messages, leading those who attend their churches and reaching new people. The challenge is great. The opportunities are greater.

FreshMinistry exists to help pastors be more effective by providing resources for many and coaching services for a few.
