Our primary goal at MinistryEquip is to develop a website that is the premiere location for leaders and ministries. There, church leaders will gather in order to become more effective in ministry, find relationships, resources, and products.
Four specific objectives will lead us to our goals:
SHEPHERDING, DISCIPLING, AND MENTORSHIP
First, we plan to do this by discipling less-experienced leaders and volunteers to become well-rounded shepherds in their congregations. We will provide access to our team of pastoral consultants and ministry leaders, ready to shepherd and advise the organization or church.
TOOLS AND RESOURCES
Second, we want to make tools and resources readily available for every leader in our community. We'll provide an ever-increasing library of articles, blogs, videos, and audio files, archived and collected from ministry sources, world-wide. Also, we'll provide helpful products from thousands of vendors. Information, commentary, and discounts on a growing catalog of ministry-oriented items will be available for purchase in the "ME" Market.
CONNECTION
Third, MinistryEquip.com will provide social networking, forums, and chat rooms as virtual ways for pastors and leaders to connect with one another. In addition to the social aspect of our on-online community, we'll provide effective staffing and placement services through MinistryStaffer.com.
SELF-SUPPORTING
Finally, we have a financial goal to become self-supporting by the conclusion of one year in existence. We hope that our entire administrative staff will be supported by the ministry's modest profits in consulting, the sale of products, and the offering of services for reasonable fees. We will also realize some benefit by providing advertising to Christian sponsors on our web pages.
