The Checkup
The mission of the church is challenged in these economically difficult days. The fact is, most churches could save $100-$500 each month by being well informed on the choices available for efficiency. More money does not always equal better ministry, and our goal is to recommend better procedures, options, and inexpensive products to get your money flowing into ministry--not unneccessary overhead.
DO YOU KNOW?
...the average church spends 15% of its budget on unneeded items?
....the eight areas where churches are most likely to overspend?
...over half of all churches do not review their services or get second opinions on costs and effectiveness on an annual basis?
...many churches could do a few simple things to save a great deal of money, positively impact their mission, and pave the way for more effective ministry?
For only $249 ($199 for churches with average attendance under 150), we'll give you our full checkup, the "executive pastor" in a box. Based on input from many effective ministers and ministries and designed especially for churches with 500 or less in average attendance, we'll apply what we've learned from years of input from executive pastors, business administrators, and highly effective ministries. You choose between a 3-hour intensive where you sit in and we talk through the process together, or an offsite analysis followed by a written report and a phone call where we will answer questions you may have, Both are designed to give a glimpse at maximum efficiency in every area of your church. We'll listen to your vision and make the necessary recommendations to help your church spend more time thinking about vision and less time thinking about money.
This is far less than what an average "consulting" service might charge for something this comprehensive, but we believe in the smaller and mid-sized church and we have others, including a non-profit, supporting this cause to make it affordable for ALL churches. We pray that EVERY church will take the opportunity to have Godly input and expertise from beyond their walls, whether it's from MinistryEquip or another resource. An ancient Chinese proverb says, "None of us is as smart as all of us," so we hope you'll take this opportunity to hear from a team of experienced leaders.
And the best part? It is fully guaranteed. If we don't find savings in your budget well beyond the cost, we'll refund your money...no questions asked. We'll do our full, ENTIRELY CONFIDENTIAL, review. You see, our heart is for healthy churches...and always will be.

This is not an audit, but in many ways it's much more. This is designed to make sure your team has knowledge of all the tools available to them to give power to the logistical side of your ministry. In this age of advance, It is simply impossible for any one person or church to be aware of all the innovations that can enhance and drive your ministry. With this service, we can do that for you.
