About
Administry Training exists to bridge the gap between where ministers are and where they want to be. While the desire for spiritual rhythms is strong, the reality of juggling ministry responsibilities with ever-changing forms of communication and software means chaos quickly reigns. Simplicity = availabity, and we are here to help you develop simple systems that enable you to move towards depth.
Admin isn’t just about efficiency. The purpose of being organised is to enable growth, creativity, and spiritual formation.
As well as coaching ministers, we offer training and workshops to churches, theological colleges, and denominations.
