Every guide in here is written for someone trying to get something done in a real parish, usually with no budget, some resistance, and a pastor who hasn’t said yes yet. Paid subscribers get the whole library, with new guides added regularly, for $10 a month or $100 a year.
There are two kinds of pieces. Blueprints are tactical, step-by-step guides you can pick up and run with, and Field Notes are case studies of what actually happened when someone tried it.
