Welcome back Tim Wyatt!

It was an absolute delight for us to have Tim back on The Church Office podcast to discuss cash flows and reserves. So if you're wondering how much a church should in reserves, or if they should even have them, this is an episode for you!

At The Church Office we love catching up with old friends and that's exactly what Gavin did when he spoke to Graham Daniels from Christian in Sport!

How many sports clubs are within a 5 mile radius of your church? Praying for people, playing with people and telling them about Jesus is how Christians in Sport roll. Listen in as Gavin and Graham talk about working as a team, the importance of administration but most of all the importance of keeping the gospel central.

Did someone say a church management course??

Join Gavin and Anna Wood, one of our Trustees, as they talk about a project that has been months in the making....our brand new Good Church Management Course!

We're so excited to announce that The Church Office's Good Church Management Course will be available from 10th November covering topics such as:

- legal and practical responsibilities of managing staff, volunteers, finances and buildings

In this week's episode, Chris talks to Gavin Smith of the Church Office, where they discuss administration, church management, and how to set up your church to succeed.

Listen in as Gavin is joined by Scott Sanders from Reach Ministries Australia to talk through the leadership needed to navigate through the unique challenges of church growth.

We had some great discussion around the leadership challenge, people and change challenge and getting the right systems and structures in place.

If you’re a church leader seeking clarity and encouragement to lead well through the next stage of growth, this episode is for you.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Clay Pot Conspiracy, you can grab your own copy now on Amazon, Eden and 10ofThose.

As churches should we collect data? What difference does it make?

From top tips to consider when collecting data to what we can learn from the recent Quiet Revival report, a far bit of ground has been covered! For more wisdom from John, check out his website:
