Elaine Pendergrass's Company Details
For a long time, most ministry leaders have assumed they had to choose. They had to choose between disruptive innovation or sustainable systems. Today, smart churches are realizing that their survival depends on not choosing, but embracing both creativity and structure as partners in the same dance. Our group is made up of a peculiar collection of radically practical visionaries, intensely committed to help you build healthy systems that create space for deliberate, often disruptive, innovation.Ministry Architects has partnered with over 1000 churches from 24 different denominations. Big and small churches are working with Ministry Architects to do church-wide strategic planning, conduct staff searches, build sustainable ministries, and reach young adults, too.Thriving, sustainable ministries can never be built on a parade of young, enthusiastic leaders try to piece together a disjointed collection of ideas from popular models, books and seminars.At Ministry Architects, we believe there is a better way, a better way than one-size-fits-all training events and quick-fix searches for superstar staffers. It all starts with building intentionally. So like Architects, we don't tell churches what they want to build. We start by listening and then show them a blueprint of exactly how they can move from where they are to where they want to be. And then we walk alongside them as to make sure that they build the kind of infrastructure they will need to create the ministries they dream of having.
