Product Description
No matter the size of your church or how long you've been around, these church systems resources will help you become better with your administrative, volunteer, follow-up, marketing and communication systems.
DOCS AND FORMS WILL HELP YOU CREATE HEALTHY SYSTEMS
Many organizations don't grow because they aren't organized. They have a mission and passion, but don’t have the systems and structure to support growth. Over a six month period within an organziation, we decided to collect as much information as possible and write everything down. The result was a set of documents that helped organize the mission. Docs and Forms has helped hundreds of church planters, executive pastors, and church leaders improve systems and create structure.
This resource includes:
- One gigantic zip file with over 120 documents
- Word, Excel, PDF and OmniGraffle documents
IF YOU WORK IN A CHURCH, YOU NEED THESE DOCUMENTS.
You’ve got sermons to write, a staff to lead, and people to help. It’s hard to step back and work ON the church when you’re so busy working IN the church. But working ON the church is what can make ministry more effective (and less stressful). Whether you’re the Senior Pastor, an associate pastor, or serve in a support role, there is something here that will help you do your job better.
ORGANIZING YOUR CHURCH DOESN’T HAVE TO BE COMPLICATED.
Docs and Forms is a collection of 120+ editable documents that you can use right away. These documents have helped hundreds of churches get more organized and reach more people and there’s no need to start from scratch. The instant download is $99.
Nearly all of the documents are editable, meaning you can customize and tweak for your church. These documents will help you lead your staff, organize your ministries, improve your financial systems, organize your volunteers and improve your worship services.

It’s Tuesday.
That means it’s time to send out your weekly email to the entire church. You sit down at the computer, pulling up last week’s email. You’ll change a few sections, add a few sentences, and hit send.
If you happen to check the stats, you’ll see that 20% of your entire database opened the email and 2.7% of people actually clicked on a link. But it’s more likely that you never look at the stats because they are too depressing.
You (or your staff) take time to thoughtfully compose emails to your congregation or groups of volunteers, but it comes across as a task rather than a meaningful form of communication. And what if those who receive the email treat it like spam, never opening it or reading it?
It doesn’t have to be that way.
You can write update emails that connect and communicate. You can use this popular, but misunderstood technology to speak to your church in a meaningful way.
In this resource, I’m going to show you:
- How you’re writing to the wrong people
- How to get people to take action
- How much information to give people
- How to write a good email subject
- When you should send an email
- How many emails should you send
This resource will help pastors, church leaders and anyone who communicates to a group of people via email.
THIS IS A DIGITAL RESOURCE. AFTER PURCHASE YOU WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL WITH A LINK AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE SYSTEMS BUNDLE.
