Resource Hub 2025

Written By Ministry Forum

This summer, the Ministry Forum Resource Hub will surpass 200 curated resources—and that’s something worth celebrating.

The Resource Hub has one simple goal: to equip ministry leaders with tools that are practical, diverse, and accessible. Whether your focus is pastoral care, youth work, administration, or preaching we want the Resource Hub to meet you where you are.

We know ministry is demanding, and time is precious. Often, we stick with what we already know—not because we don’t want to grow, but because there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to explore what’s out there. That’s where we come in. Our team works hard each moth to explore resources new and classic resources that leaders are looking for so you can come to one centralized place to find what you need quickly.

You can browse by category—like Preaching, Children’s Ministry, Digital Ministry, or LGBTQI2S+ Inclusion—or use the search function to quickly find what you need. And if you’ve found something transformative in your ministry setting, we’d love to hear about it.

The Hub is always evolving. It’s built by and for leaders like you!
