What people are saying:

These conferences are the MOST practical conferences I've ever attended! And I feel 'normal' and loved when they are finished. I still go back and watch the videos from other conferences!

Small Church Ministry is more than an idea group or a Facebook page. It's iron sharpening iron ... The workshops and seminars are first rate with something for you whether you just started out or have been involved in ministry 50 years. Laurie's joy and enthusiasm is absolutely contagious!

I am in many groups on FB, pastor groups, kids min groups - the list seems endless. However, in the short time I have been part of this group I have been truly ministered to. Thank you!

My head is so full of what I learned over the weekend, I am practically dizzy. Thank you so much for the professional and well-planned conference. It is undoubtedly the best conference I have ever attended. Thanks again.

Small Church Ministry has given me community and freedom from the loneliness of being a pastor’s wife. It is fabulous to get so many ideas for kids’ and women’s ministry in the small church setting. It’s so encouraging to be in a group that understands the struggle of churches with under 50 people.
