I wonder if you ever felt called to serve as a pastor and, for one of many “excellent reasons,” never acted on God’s call in your life. Some may ask, “How can I know that I am the one God is calling?”

The Academy for Small Membership Church Ministries' GoFundMe Campaign

In the next five years, we plan to train 60 laypersons to serve as pastors for small membership churches. In addition, we will work with the membership of 30 churches to help them develop a ministry of presence to their local community. Please donate to support this effort!
