This week marks a significant milestone for The Church Office Podcast—an incredible 20,000 downloads! God has been kind and it’s been exciting to see how He has used the work of The Church Office so far.

We have particularly seen grace at work on our podcast. Through connecting with you as you work behind the scenes in your church context to seeing grace at work in enabling different people to be able to join us and give us expert opinions on their field of expertise.

For those of you who may not have listened in before, here’s a quick explanation of our heart for The Church Office podcast:

A Podcast Designed for Church Leaders and Administrators

Managing the daily operations of a church is no small task. From budgeting and staffing to event planning and compliance, we are well aware that church administrators, operations directors and volunteers wear many hats. The Church Office Podcast was created to provide real-world insights, strategies, and encouragement to go for the gospel when serving in these critical roles.

Engaging Conversations That Matter

We want you to walk away from an episode feeling encouraged as well as better equipped to handle the everyday requirements of working behind the scenes. For many, working for a church can be an isolating experience. The podcast offers friendly faces, real experiences and anecdotes (with the occasional theory thrown in!) who are right there working to serve their churches as you are in yours.

We love the community that has built around the podcast, with listeners occasionally reaching out to share how an episode has provided them with a breakthrough moment or helped them navigate a difficult situation in their church office. This running the race together for the gospel is what we most want for the podcast.

Covering a Range of Topics to Serve the Church

How many topics has the podcast covered? Not enough! But whilst we keep going with building this up, here’s some of our most popular episodes from our seasons so far:

• How to Develop a Strong Volunteer Culture – Strategies for recruiting, training, and retaining dedicated volunteers.
• Church Budgeting 101 – A step-by-step guide to creating a sustainable financial plan for ministries.
• Navigating Legal and Compliance Issues in the Church – An essential conversation for avoiding legal pitfalls in ministry operations.
• The Role of Technology in Modern Church Administration – How to leverage digital tools to streamline operations and improve communication.

Church work is ever evolving and so we try and bring in as many timely voices as we can but if you have any areas that it would serve you to have covered on the podcast, please do get in touch!

The Road Ahead: Reaching More Church Leaders

Reaching 20,000 downloads is a milestone worth celebrating, but as The Church Office Podcast continues to grow, the goal remains the same: to encourage and equip those who work behind the scenes in the gospel so that God may be glorified in our churches.

Whether you’re navigating financial decisions, team dynamics, or church management challenges, we want to come alongside you and serve you and by God’s grace the podcast will continue to do that for more staff, leaders and volunteers in the coming years.
