Small Church Pastor
Coaching, Consulting, and Resources for Pastors of Smaller Churches.
My name is Dave Jacobs and I specialize in small churches. With almost
30 years experience in pastoring small churches, I’ve done it all and seen
it all. I’ve planted churches, merged churches, and closed churches. I’ve
run fund raising campaigns in a small church, held services in community
centers, high schools, Seventh Day Adventist churches, and even had my
own building. I’ve had great ideas, poor ideas, and stupid ideas. In fact, I’
ve probably learned more from my mistakes than from my successes. I
understand the small church. But even better, I understand the small
church pastor. I’ve survived the ups and downs of pastoring in the small
church. I know the advantages and disadvantages of working in a small
church, and in addition to this, I like pastors of small churches. I know
what it is like for you. I understand.

At Small Church Pastor you won’t find ways to grow your small church, but you will find ways to grow
you! You see, it’s not about church growth, it’s about your growth! I don’t think you need to be fixed. I
don’t assume you’re doing something wrong and that’s why your church is small. I’m not against
church growth but I am against the ways in which our Christian culture has made pastors of smaller
churches feel insignificant and unimportant. I am against the lack of encouragement and practical
resources available to small church pastors. Small Church Pastor was created for you! Browse
around my site and then drop me a line. I’d love to hear from you.

Your friend, Dave

“I have known Dave Jacobs since his high school days in San
Jose.   You will find him dedicated, a man of integrity, and a
treasured mentor in ministry.  He is not out to get rich or build a
name for himself, he just loves the Lord and wants to help others
with a kindred spirit.  I can recommend him without reservation!”
-Bryce Jessup, President, William Jessup University


"Dave is one of the most resourceful team leaders we have on
the regional team for church planting in the Vineyard.  He
produces workshops, seminars, and personal coaching in
spiritual formation, marriage enrichment, and specific church
growth issues.  If you work with Dave, you get a holistic coach
with detailed experience."
-Randy Knutson, Western Regional Director of Church Planting, The
Vineyard.
Kind words...
"For several years now I have had the privilege of knowing Dave  
Jacobs.  Not only does Dave coach my personal calling on a
monthly  basis, but I have had the joy of introducing Dave to other
pastors in  my region and with each contact the results have
brought a new sense  of hope and direction.  What I love about
Dave is that his ministry is  gimmick free.  Dave is real and his
ministry is real. Dave helps  leaders plan to finish well and he
also helps a them leave behind that  unique contribution into
God's Kingdom they were destined to deposit."
-Garris Elkins, Divisional Superintendent, Southern Oregon/Umpqua  
Division of Foursquare Churches, Medford, Oregon.
