This Lens has been created for those serving in the Performing Arts Ministries working each week to come up with relevant and new ways to communicate their message each week.
Current trends in Ministry
I would like to use this feature to discuss real issues that programming ministries encounter.
Church Programming Sites
Aids in Service Programming
- MinistryHub.com
- Ministry Hub is a unique tool designed to make your life easier. If you are like the majority of church leaders, you spend countless hours each week searching for the perfect illustration or idea for your services. Many times, the search is fruitless and frustrating. On top of that, combing through countless web sites costs you precious minutes out of your already packed day. That's where we come in.
At Ministry Hub, we have created an online network that allows you to exchange ideas with other ministry leaders. Among its many features, our site allows you to build your own creative team online, consolidate and organize all of your ideas into one accessible location, and to enjoy the benefits of our massive information database. On top of that, Ministry Hub features "Virtual Brainstorming Sessions," a revolutionary new technology that allows you to participate in scheduled sessions live with other creative people. Sign up and create your FREE acount today! - TowardWonder
- If you have been doing programming for Contemporary Churches you know who Willow is. TowardWonder gives you access to all of the product that Willow Creek has created in the past years.
