you must get your lay people ready. Get them ready now.

The days of churches having big paid staffs are gone,

and we must utilize volunteers to reach the body.”

MinistryKeys ® allows you to be abetter steward of God’s resources.

Using MinistryKeys, ® the personnel budget of Abba’s House was cut from 50% of income to 30%

of income, resulting in a $500,000 per year decrease in payroll costs, providing a 100-fold returnon our investment, and continues to do so. We were able to add 14 non-paid lay pastors as well

as countless volunteers in every area of the church, who are outperforming the previous paid staff,

at no cost to the church.

Abba’s House also used MinistryKeys ® to identify a team of church leaders to develop our own

customized teaching curriculum, that is saving the church $50,000 per year.

MinistryKeys ® was instrumental in the total turnaround

of our (Abba’s House) financial position, and our new-

found volunteer base is continuing to provide results in

the form of increased giving from this group that is now

plugged in to the Abba’s House vision and mission in

ways never before seen at this church.

“MinistryKeys ® was one of the tools God gave us,

that literally saved Abba’s House from financial

disaster during a crisis time in our church.”

- Denise Craig

Chief Financial Officer

Abba’s House



Do you have the right peopleserving in the right places?

MinistryKeys ® has allowed Abba’s House to take our membership and determine their personality,

areas of gifting, and their passion, and plug them into the right places filling every area in need of

volunteers, which makes them happy, fulfilled, and connected to the church’s vision... and they

become givers!

MinistryKeys ® accomplishes all of this in an instantaneous manner,

using internet-based software that is easy to use, while developing

a communication path with our church volunteers we could have

never had without MinistryKeys ® . The days of placing people in

the wrong spots, and dealing with the fallout are over!

“MinistryKeys ® is one of the tools that has helped

us double our life group attendance.”

- Paulette Phillips

Pastor of Adult Education

Abba’s House



Are you hiring the right staff ?

MinistryKeys ® understands the difference between candidates who are merely qualified for

a position and candidates who are both qualified and called. We have helped countless

churches, ministries and nonprofit agencies find and place the best people.

MinistryKeys ® helps you find, place and retain staff with a complete online system that either

complements your existing search methods, or operates as a stand-alone solution. Unlike any

other system available, MinistryKeys ® is integrated with Monster ® and CareerBuilder ® reducing

your search time to literally minutes. MinistryKeys ® then screens the potential candidates and

provides you with a list of potential candidates that meet your benchmarked requirements.

Fast, easy and exact!

“We use MinistryKeys ® for every new hire, from the children’s day care up to the pastoral level.

The cost of a bad hire is easily double their salary, but in a church it is even more,

because entire groups of people can be affected when a staff member leaves.

MinistryKeys ® has enabled us to make superior hires, resulting in

minimal staff turnover, and less church turmoil.

- Eddie Adams



MinistryKeys ® gives your church its own in-house

recruitment agency... from your membership.

It is a tool that will give your church a

100-fold return on its investment

every single year, by mining your

membership, and developing an

instantly accessible database of

gifted members readily identified

to serve the church in their

God-ordained area of service.

“You cannot succeed if you cannot lead people, and you cannot

lead people if you do not know who they are. MinistryKeys ® gives

me and my staff instant knowledge of our people and their areasof gifting. Now we can lead.”

-Dr. Ron Phillips,

Senior Pastor, Abba’s House



Are you satisfied with the retentionof church members?

Keeping church members active and involved is vital to the success and continued growth of your

church or ministry. MinistryKeys ® can provide you with essential information that will allow you to

plan for growth, instead of just hoping for it.

“It is known that members who are “plugged in” through worship, life groups, and area of service

will give more, while at the same time close the back door of the church. This has happened at

Abba’s House through the use of MinistryKeys. ® ”

The body is to be built up by the mutual efforts of all the members supplying their

contribution to the whole. The call to empower people requires mentoring, training,

imparting and discipling - all aimed at preparing the body for growth.

The word “equipping” means making a fit, preparing,

training, perfecting, making fully qualified for

service. In classical times, the word was

used for setting a bone during surgery.The Great Physician is now making all

the necessary adjustments so the

church will not be “out of joint”.

“It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be

evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works

of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.

-Ephesians 4:11,12
