The Pastor
can't do it alone
You need a partner who's been there
You need advice you can trust from someone who's been there. You need someone to walk alongside as you confront the challenges, and to help as you pursue your church objectives.
That's where Simple Service comes in. We help pastors to marshal their people and resources, administer the church, develop leaders, plan strategy, and raise the funds you need for healthy church growth. We even help with the little things.
Whatever the challenges, you are not alone.

Take the Simple Survey
Jesus told us to make disciples and teach them his commands. (Matthew 28:19-20)
So we measure pastor success by
- the number of disciples (Acts 2:41) and
- their Christian maturity (Ephesians 4:13).
All pastors want to be successful by these standards.
But half of pastors leave ministry within five years.
Help us to figure out why some pastors succeed and others fail.
Then we can help all pastors to be successful.
Take the Simple Survey : 10 questions, 10 minutes
The Simple Book identifies what successful pastors know that others don't understand.
It's based on a 12-month survey of 1000 pastors, church members, and outside observers. The simple book reviews interviews with more than 100 successful pastors, and includes articles by them about how they built a healthy, growing church.
What does it take to be a successful pastor? Find out in the Simple Book.
The Simple Book is still under construction, and you can still help write it. Here's how.
1. Take the Simple Survey 2012 : 10 questions in 10 minutes.
2. If you're a pastor, we'd like to interview you about your greatest success and your
greatest fiasco. We will keep your identity confidential if you like.
3. If you're a pastor, you can write an article for publication. We'll publish your article here; and if you're included in the Simple Book, we'll send you a free copy.

What We Know So Far
Half of pastors leave ministry within five years.
4000 churches close each year in America.
Considering new church starts, we are losing about 1200 churches per year.
Many churches fail because of ongoing, unresolved conflict between members or factions. There is a Biblical method for resolving these conflicts.
Many churches fail because a pastor is strong in interpersonal relationship skills but weak in church systems skills... or vice versa. Pastor coaching can remedy this.
Many pastors quit because they don't feel worthy, and don't have a trusted other to confide in. There is a Biblical way to deal with this challenge.
PASTOR PARTNER
HELP WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GROW A HEALTHY CHURCH
Unlike a consultant, Pastor Partner works with you, not on you. A consultant tells you what's wrong and how to fix it. Then you can either hire them to implement their fix... or not.
Instead, Pastor Partner empowers you to do things your way. Use your strengths and grow things your way at your pace. We help you with marshaling your people and resources. We support you with specific solutions so you can to realize your vision. Let Pastor Partner free you to go with your strengths, and let your partner help with the rest.
You need an experienced partner you can afford... Interim, Contract, Part-time, or Temporary
We help pastors grow healthy churches... with emphasis on empowering pastors.

How We Help
At Different Levels
Humble, yet powerful
Simple, Hands-On Tasks : We stuff envelopes or organize volunteers to do it. Computer repair. Facility maintenance and repair. Run calling lists. This is a great way to get to know us without a big commitment.
Organization : Administrative tasks like publishing the bulletin, checking your budget, background checks on staff and volunteers, helping to plan and do an event or program, building your website, or reworking your member directory.
Training : We could do it all for you; but we'd much rather train your staff and volunteers to do things themselves. Turn newcomers into disciples, and disciples into leaders.
Ministries : Why reinvent the wheel? We have several well-proven ministries ready to go: attract newcomers, teach spiritual disciplines, identify giftings, create service opportunities, men's ministry, and youth ministry. We train your people to run them by walking them through it the first time, and being available for questions afterward.
Leadership: It is so important to qualify and train your leaders. Bad leaders hurt; good leaders grow healthy churches. Resolve conflicts. Get a clear vision and empower it with a workable plan. God has a plan for you: Be sure you're cooperating.
Let's talk about your questions and needs, and let our experienced people step in to help you grow your members and your numbers.
We help you to go with your strengths, while we fill in the areas where you're not strong.
Is your Elder Board pulling in different directions? We help pastors activate and unify their boards.
Are you a people person who is great with speaking, but not a super administrator or manager? We help pastors manage day-to-day operations.
Are you a great program organizer and hands-on doer, but weaker with drawing people into strong relationship with Christ? We help pastors integerate newcomers and members with strong bonds in your church.
Can you talk about anything with your members... except money? We help churches raise funds.
Do you feel unworthy or incapable of leading the church to healthy growth? We coach healthy pastors who grow healthy churches.
No pastor is alone anymore.
