FOCUS: THE "ME" MARKET

As we discussed in Building Blocks, Phase Three will focus on the full development of our flagship website, MinistryEquip.com. One primary focus of MinistryEquip.com will be the "ME" Market, a one-stop location to find all things ministry.

While MinistryEquip will, over time, develop many products of our own, we believe that our strength will be as a gateway to the services of other ministries and Christian companies. No matter what the need or situation, MinistryEquip.com members will have access to hundreds, and eventually, thousands of services and products provided by MinistryEquip partners. Our Services and Resources will give you a look at the bigger picture of the "ME" Market.

The Market will feature the latest in search technology, complete with an ability to filter results and find what’s needed quickly and painlessly. Being able to comment on and recommend products and resources to one another, MinistryEquip.com members will have a personalized experience, even as they have access to a comprehensive archive of articles, products, downloadable audio and video, and more.

In addition to MinistryEquip.com, there are other website projects in the works to serve our online community – MinistryStaffer.com, HaveYouHeardEm.com, and AdminEquip.com.

Ministrystaffer.com is ready to provide an affordable alternative for churches and leaders searching to fill ministry positions. By providing this service at a reasonable price, and with the strength of our network to drive traffic to the site, we can help to better get the word out for those who need to fill a position or find one.

Another sister site in development is HaveYouHeardEm.com, a unique site which will allow for the growth and promotion of worship artists and worship leaders. This site will allow "fans" and others who enjoy their music to get closer to the artists than ever before and to invest in their music.

Finding good and affordable administrative assistance can be an uphill battle for many churches, so we hope to tackle that need head-on with AdminEquip.com. Rising out of a relationship we forged with a Texas-based, Christian-owned talent provider, we will serve churches and ministries by providing well-trained traditional and virtual administrative assistants.

And from there? Who knows? The possibilities really are almost infinite.
