ChurchHacks.com is for church leaders, ministry professionals, volunteers, musicians, secretaries, janitors, teachers, coordinators, helpers, greeters, and everyone who assists in the building up of the local church and the furtherance of the Gospel. It is intended and designed to help you with the practical and logistical areas of ministry so that worship and people ministry can take place. We feel that when Christ said, “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations,” (Matthew 28:19 NIV) that meant a little more than getting an accurate attendance in your Christian Education program and preventing bloodshed in your quarterly business meetings. That giving glory to God involves more than choosing the software you use in your church office and running an effective and meaningful worship team rehearsal.

Making disciples and glorifying God happen within the small details of a church’s ministry as well as the life-changing, eternal destiny-types of occasions. We’re here to help you hack your church so that your community of Christ-followers can worship God and minister to each other effectively for God’s glory.
