Get a Personalized Salary Report For Your Church’s Leadership Team
Posted on 3/14/2013 by Stephanie Jackson
The most influential factor in setting staff salaries is a church’s size, measured by its budget and worship attendance – which are usually related to each other. But most research available to churches in North America focuses (rightfully) on the 98% of churches which have an average attendance under 1,000. Leadership Network’s research targets that largest 2%. We now offer a customized salary report, tailored to your church's size (based on attendance and budget) for a nominal fee.

What is Sacrilege?
Posted on 11/3/2011 by Stephanie Jackson
Hugh Halter (author of The Tangible Kingdom and AND) has written a new book called Sacrilege (you can find all these titles here). Most of the books in the Leadership Network series are written specifically for church leaders, but Sacrilege (published by Baker, and part of the Shapevine Missional series) will appeal to a much broader audience. In fact, Hugh forwarded an email to me that I am excepting below, describing what Sacrilege is all about.
Hi friends,
Today marks the opening bell for the release of my latest book called Sacrilege. On blogs, articles, and other public comments, I try to avoid any “self promotion,” but on this one, I’m going to take the risk because I believe it will be of immense help if you are a Christian leader or unpaid saint. If you know me personally, you’ve probably heard me say that I hate to write…but even more, I feel incredible frustration and pain over the state of the church and what may happen to our story of faith if things keep going the way they are...
