Productive Ministry
Productive Ministry was founded to help pastors, priests, and ministers accomplish more administratively, in order increase the amount of time they have for functioning pastorally. We help them do the things they have to do so they can go do the things they're called to do. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
