Welcome to Ministry By Design
Every church desires to fulfill Christ's mission faithfully. Yet every church also faces challenges—developing leaders, strengthening ministries, equipping volunteers, organizing for growth, and maintaining unity around a common purpose.
Ministry By Design helps pastors, ministry leaders, and congregations meet those challenges through biblical principles, practical resources, and organizational wisdom shaped by decades of ministry leadership, consulting, writing, and service to the local church.
Whether you're seeking guidance for a specific ministry, leadership insight for your congregation, or resources that encourage healthy church development, you'll find a philosophy centered on one conviction:
Every ministry should intentionally contribute to the whole church's mission.
What Is Ministry By Design?
Long before it became a series of books, Ministry By Design was a philosophy of ministry.
It is built upon the conviction that healthy churches rarely happen by accident. Faithful biblical leadership, intentional discipleship, meaningful relationships, thoughtful organization, and a shared commitment to Christ's mission cultivate them.
Over the years, that philosophy has taken shape through consulting, leadership development, pastoral ministry, teaching, writing, and the continued publication of Ministry By Design: The Series.
