I’m regularly asked for recommendations on different tools, training, resources and services available to church pastors looking to grow their church.
Because of this, I’ve put together a list of the best church growth resources that I’ve either personally used (in most cases) or which have come highly recommended to me by people I trust.
I will add to these lists as I come across new church leadership resources that I can wholeheartedly recommend.
CORE COACHING
Launchpad a monthly membership program with bite-sized coaching, done for you resources and real church examples. Launchpad gives you the most affordable, practical and timely resources to help you lead your church.
Although you can find free online preaching courses, regular readers will know I always recommend the Preaching Rocket community and training.
It’s a revolutionary, step-by-step system designed to take the stress and worry out of preparing and presenting powerful sermons.

ORGANISE YOUR CHURCH
Most churches don’t grow because they’re not organised. Docs and Forms is a collection of 120+ word, excel and PDF documents that will help you organize every ministry of your church.
From first time giver thank you letters to financial documents, employee handbooks, church volunteer job descriptions and facility hiring policies – it’s all there to help you lead your church better.
