There are practical solutions for smaller churches ... I can have those conversations and we can make changes by the next Sunday.

PASTORS:
How Can Everyday Influence Serve Your Church?

Healthy churches don't happen because one pastor works harder.

They grow because everyday people keep growing.

You Don't Have to Develop Everyone Yourself

Most churches don’t have the time to provide ongoing leadership development for every volunteer. Everyday Influence helps fill that gap.

It’s easy to feel like every problem comes back to you, especially in a smaller church.

Another conversation.
Another decision.
Another fire to put out.

It’s also easy to assume the next step is hiring someone, paying a stipend, or finding another leader.

But what if the people you’re looking for are already in your church?

For more than six years, Laurie Graham Ertl has been helping small churches develop healthier volunteers and ministry leaders through coaching, conferences, podcasts, and practical training.

Everyday Influence is where that growth continues all year long through live coaching, on-demand learning, and practical conversations with others serving in small churches.

Who Is Everyday Influence For?

People who ...

  • are ready for more responsibility
  • want to keep growing personally
  • want to make a greater difference without needing a title
  • are leading a ministry or beginning to lead one
  • ask thoughtful questions and want practical answers
  • care deeply about helping your church become healthier

No title required.

Can Pastors Be Members Too?

Although Everyday Influence was created for everyday people serving in ministry, some pastors join because Everyday Influence offers something different from most pastor memberships.

Instead of learning only with other pastors, you’re learning alongside the very kinds of people you’re trying to develop in your own church.

You’ll hear their questions.

Their struggles.
Their ideas.
Their victories.

You’ll often leave with ideas you can apply in your own church that week.

  • One live Q&A every month
  • Full access to the Small Church Academy

  • Searchable Q&A replays

  • Priority member email support
I went from a place of 'I don’t want to have anything to do with ministry anymore, and I’m gonna quit,' to a place where for the first time in a decade, I’m excited to see what God’s going to do with this church.

Next Sunday doesn't need to look like the last.

Everyday Influence isn’t another ministry for your church to run. It’s a trusted place where everyday people can keep growing between Sundays, instead of relying on your church to provide every opportunity for development.
  • Some people find us on their own.
  • Some are personally invited by a pastor who believes in them.
  • Others join together with a friend from church.

Not Sure What's Best For Your Church?

Every church is different.

I’d be happy to hear about your church, answer your questions, and help you think through whether Everyday Influence is a good fit for you, a key volunteer, your leadership team … or all of the above.

I have been doing church and ministry for a lot of years. But the things I'm learning here ... I was like, ‘Where has this been all my life?' I wish I would’ve had this when I was starting out. It changed my perspective on what success looks like in church ministry. Success is not just a big church and numbers. We can be successful in small church ministry.

A Note For Denominations, Associations & Ministry Networks

Healthy churches are built by growing people.

Everyday Influence gives volunteers and ministry leaders a practical place to grow all year long, without adding one more thing to any pastor’s plate.

If you’re looking for an intentional way to help develop people in your congregations, I’d love to talk.
