Jesus often likened his followers to sheep: gentle, well-meaning, and a little bit prone to wander and get themselves into trouble. If you’re a pastor, or a church business manager, or on the Board of Elders or in a similar leadership position, you’re probably already smiling and shaking your head in acknowledgment. As much as we love our people—and we do—volunteers bring with them a variety of skills, professional experience, and often, personal baggage. To help them and your church’s mission thrive, a little training could come in handy and pave the way for greater success.

Helping the Church Survive and Thrive

How We Work

At Mainstream Nonprofit Solutions we combine biblical principles with best practices to create an individualized plan to meet your church’s unique needs. We are devoted to the church as an organization of good that is part of your community’s fabric. Because of this, we are especially focused on helping you and your congregation run smoothly and with the least friction possible. After all, as a pastor, you went to Seminary for your M.Div., not to a business school for an MBA.
