These resources are recommended by Dick Hardy and are just one small benefit you will find in his upcoming book 26 Tough Questions Pastors Ask.
Here are some places where you can start to find successful ministry resources:
• Associations of churches like Willow Creek (www.willowcreek.com), Saddleback (www.saddleback.com), James River Assembly (www.jamesriverassociation.com), Bethel Temple, Hampton, Virginia (www.bethelleadershipgroup.com), North Point Community Church (www.northpoint.org), and others provide regular resources at nominal fees while many things are completely free of charge.
• National associations of specific ministry focuses, for example, the National Association of Church Business Administration (www.nacba.net), the National Association of Evangelicals (www.nae.net), and the International Network of Children’s Ministry (www.incm.org), can tune you in to what’s happening and who’s doing it.
