What We Do

1. We help pastors, staff, and churches become strong, healthy, and grow.

2. We complete a church assessment on each church to learn the best ways we can help them REM. At the end of the year, we complete another assessment to see how we helped our churches REM.

3. We provide weekly online teachings that focus on REM.

4. We host a yearly retreat for all our churches to gather to celebrate, worship, and fellowship.

5. We offer specialized coaching for Senior Pastors, Worship Pastors, Evangelists, Student Pastors, and Church Planters.

6. We have started Practical Theological Seminary to train leaders in a two-year program. It is a seminary education for everyone. All classes can be taken in-person or online. More info at PracticalTheologicalSeminary.com.

7. We have a home at the Sea of Galilee in Israel for Lead Pastors and their families. We encourage them to stay and study in the Holy Land.

What it Looks Like

Once your church has been accepted, we will schedule a time to visit with the pastor, staff, and leaders to complete a full assessment on the church. The goal is to get an overall picture of the church and areas we can best assist them in REM. The assessment is given to the pastor, and an additional evaluation will be completed at the end of one year to track the growth in each area of REM.

Each week, our REM Churches will receive online teachings from our staff. We will work with our REM Pastors and other ministry leaders to produce practical resources that will help you grow every part of your church.

Your network of ministry leaders will grow as you become friends with other pastors from around the country who are part of our REM Family. We provide online forums for our pastors and leaders to interact with our teaching resources. We encourage you to share your latest happenings, give and receive feedback from events/ministries, learn from successes/failures of others, and be encouraged to continue to fulfill the calling that God has given you.

We are also here for you to ask specific questions and receive advice from our REM Church staff. We are available during any crisis or emergency that our pastors and churches may experience, and we will walk you through any urgent issue that may arise.

We encourage your pastors to join our coaching cohorts. We offer coaching for Senior Pastors, Worship Pastors, Student Pastors, Evangelists, and Church Planters. Each coach will set their yearly schedule to gather together two to three times. Participants will make their payment directly to their coach before they meet, and they will be responsible to make travel arrangements.

Your Part

To be a part of our REM Family of Churches, we are asking you to make a commitment to reach more people for Jesus, equip more people in your church, and multiply more of your ministries and start more churches. We are asking you to grow. If you have no desire to grow, you should not consider becoming a REM Church.

We are not asking you to change anything in your church to join our REM Family. Your church ministries can remain the same. We simply want to help your ministries be more effective and fruitful.

We are also not asking your church to leave a denomination or network you are currently involved in. You can be a part of both.

Along the way, you may need to make changes to grow. We will leave that up to you and your leaders. We teach principles and share strategies. You will need to prayerfully adapt these teachings to your own given context of your church and community.

The Costs

1. REM Churches voluntarily choose a monthly amount to give either as a percentage of their budget or a specific dollar amount.

2. Specialized coaching is an additional fee paid to the leader (Lead Pastor, Student, Worship, Evangelist, and Church Planter).

3. We believe in “running lean” with our budget for REM Churches. We keep our expenses low so that we can use the money for ministry. Money received from REM Churches will be used to help our Family of Churches reach, equip, and multiply.

* We believe in full disclosure of finances. Our books are always open and reported yearly.
