Small Church Pastor
Coaching, Consulting, and Resources for Pastors of Smaller Churches.
My name is Dave Jacobs and I specialize in small churches. I have almost
30 years experience in pastoring small churches. I understand the small
church. But even better, I understand the small church pastor. I’ve survived
the ups and the downs of pastoring in the small church. I know the
advantages and disadvantages of working in a small church. I like pastors
of smaller churches. I know what it is like for you. I understand.
At Small Church Pastor you won’t necessarily 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’m not against church growth but I am
against the ways in which our Christian culture has made pastors of small
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.

"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."
