Small Church Solutions Bundles

insights from those who know small church ministry best

Why do we need "Small Church" Solutions?

If you’ve noticed that most church resources and recommendations don’t work in your smaller setting, you’re not alone.

Here's why:

  • Smaller churches face unique challenges at every size — under 200, under 100, and under 50.
  • Those who don’t serve in smaller congregations typically don’t understand these challenges or how to solve them.
  • Smaller churches have a specialized ministry calling, and trying to imitate a “typical” big church limits the impact we’re meant to have.

Don't you think smaller churches deserve better?
We sure do!

These solution packs were created just for you — answering common challenges small churches face today.

Featuring leading voices from small churches worldwide

  • Compiled from our most popular small church ministry conference sessions
  • Each bundle tackles a specific challenge with proven, practical solutions specific to small churches
  • Includes hours of video inspiration, ideas, and strategies you can start using right away, plus transcripts
  • Costs less than attending a typical ministry workshop (you know... the ones that leave small churches shaking their heads anyway)

If you're still on the fence, see what other people are saying

Thank you Laurie Graham and Small Church Ministry for another successful ministry planning event in the books!! We had such a wonderful time, fellowshipping, discussing and dreaming together!
Becky
Small Church Ministry has been helping me realize small isn't bad it is just different. You have helped me learn the power of just one. With one (or two) I can personalize lessons, mentor, invest and build relationships easier. I have learned techniques to do better announcements, create lessons and devotionals, and I have learned to use social media more effectively.
Allison
I don't feel alone in mission, there are so many churches in similar circumstances with encouragement and ideas as to how to move forward or help.
Cherie
It is first of all encouraging to find a ministry that ministers to small church pastors, staff. They have great ideas and resources that again are "doable" and relevant to the congregations we minister to.
Linda
Small Church Ministry has provided great suggestions and access to resources that help our small church function in the best way possible.
Joel
The ideas I've gleaned from small church ministry have helped our children and youth ministry thrive. It has given me the courage and grace to lead and keep pressing toward the goal. Thank you!
Anne
SCM has brought clarity to my ministry regarding volunteers. I understand the need to invest in them and build them up. From time to time I have also made use of info that has been shared in the Creative Solutions group. I can see the need to not do things alone!
Linda
I'm glad I have most of my planning done for the year, and the kids are excited about the events we're doing. And I have adults willing to help (most NOT on the youth committee). So I'd say it was definitely a success.
Jesi
I am happy to tell you we had our Planning Party last Saturday with 8 in attendance. We are using the 7 week plan. We used each step in the plan, and got fantastic ideas. We are now beginning work on the calendar. Thank you so much for your help & support.
Carolyn
Small Church Ministry helped remind me of the strengths small churches have. Using your 6 core principles of Children's Ministry to build off of.
Pastor Steven
Taught me the importance of connection over curriculum, given me great practical tools to improve what we were already doing, has given me the confidence to try some new things, has given a breath of fresh air and encouragement that it's okay to be small!
Becky
The Small Church Ministry has revolutionized how I view and flow in ministry. It has truly helped me take the focus off what others are doing (i.e. bigger churches), and be more laser-focused on how our ministry can do it a "different" way that yields impact, response, and results.
Robyn
It really helped me form a good foundation when we had to rebuild our entire children's ministry from the ground up. I honestly have no idea what we would have done without all the wonderful resources! I'm so glad God brought me to you!
Hannah
It provided support and "the next step" when I was at the end of how far I felt I could go in my area of ministry. I attended the youth and kidmin conference and it changed my perspective and brought me so much freedom.
Laura
By the way, I met with our kids church team tonight and used your resources as a guide to help us get more organized and formalized and to cast new vision! It was extremely helpful!!
Chrystal
Laurie has a real heart for small church ministry. She has great practical advice that can be applied immediately. Definitely worth listening and following. I always walk away motivated and inspired.
Tacb123
I am encouraged to do things differently. And it started with the volunteers conference and surprising statements: "80/20 is not a rule, it's a symptom" and "What if He already provided?" (thank you Laurie!) I organised Planning Party for children's ministry and I was a success - 12 people came and we have around 40 people on a Sunday worship!
Emilia
Small Church Ministry has been an encouragement and helped me to realize that small does not necessarily mean unsuccessful. It has helped me stop focusing on the "smallness" of our church, and to celebrate the uniqueness of who we are and what we can do for the Lord in the place where we are at this moment in time.
Patricia
In the next few months our church will change drastically…. Having listened to your podcasts, attended conferences and put many of your ideas into action - I feel prepared to enter this new season with hope for regrowth rather than with an attitude of fear. Thank you for providing a foundation that I didn't even know I was going to need!
Anne
Small Church Ministry has helped me feel more connected and relieved other churches have similar challenges. It has also encouraged my faith that there are strategies and things we can put in place to help our church members get to where God wants them, which is what it’s all about.
Chanel
It's given me tools to use in leading people. Given me ideas about what to try. And helped me make a mindset shift from our time in a bigger church to being in a smaller church now.
Nat
Just being able to access resources made specifically for small churches has improved the children's ministry of our church. Kids are excited each week to come and worship God and learn more about his Word.
Deborah
SCM has helped us to organize and manage our projects through the best possible practices.
