Top 10 Free Ministry Tools for Your Toolbox

There are multiple jobs and roles that ministry leaders take on in a single week! That's why you need these top 10 free ministry tools to lighten the load.

As a ministry leader, your job description likely has a line that goes something like this: 

“Other duties as assigned.” 

In other words, “You may preach a sermon, but you may also set up parking cones. And you may manage a budget but you may also manage the crayon storage. You may clean up puke, update insurance on the church van, and answer a complex theological question all on your lunch break.” 

As leaders, we have to (ahem…get to) do a lot of different jobs. That means having some extra ministry tools in our toolbox never hurts. In fact, that’s part of the reason we created a whole library of free ministry resources over at OrangeLeaders.com. We want you to have access to quality, curated ministry resources created by real ministry leaders like you. 

Here are ten of our favorite FREE ministry tools to put in your toolbox this year (and one not-quite-free thing that will make everything better).
