“Steve Smith is a friend to pastors; a friend to the local church; a refreshing resource. We asked Steve to help us create and institute a church budget and he went far beyond the call of duty in assisting us with staffing issues and our new building campaign.
The local Pastor has very few places to go for personal, in depth advice about running the administrative side of the ministry. We came up empty so many times after spending large sums of money to attend conferences and seminars on such matters. Steve pours his heart and passion into customizing the information for your particular situation. No conference has ever offered that.
Steve’s personable style and gift of communication make the information he gives come to life. You will actually get excited about excellence in church administration.”

“It is my pleasure to personally recommend Steve Smith as a consultant for your administrative, financial and budgeting needs.
His keen sense of business and financial insight make him an undeniable resource for help in implementing church budgets, training and encouraging your church staff. He gives financial oversight through difficult situations.
Steve has walked us through our budget implementation process and helped our staff understand the freedom that comes from operating within a budget environment.
His love and passion, along with his willingness to impart knowledge, allows us to strongly encourage you to contact him.”

Global Messenger Service/St. Louis, Missouri
“In 1987 our ministry, Global Messenger Service was growing quickly and things were moving fast. We lived in India most of the year and held as many as thirty-five crusades each year. With the hectic pace of traveling and ministering, it seemed impossible to keep up with the office administration, especially the finances.
That is when Steve Smith said he could help us. He established the necessary protocols and framework for our ministry to function. With Steve’s help we were able to stay mobile and know what was going on with our finances and most importantly to know that someone was taking care of things who was committed to the job and who knew what they were doing.
For almost twenty years, Steve has watched over our finances and administration and has helped as we have grown and expanded into an international mission’s organization.
Steve’s level of integrity and heart for ministry are a great balance in helping any church or organization function at a high level. One of Steve’s great qualities is to look into the future and determine what needs to be done today to prepare for future growth and events.
I highly recommend Steve and know from experience that he can help a ministry with administration and financial advice. His heart is pure and his level of commitment is high.”

“Steve Smith has spoken to and helped thousands of leaders around the world, equipping them in fulfilling their vision, by giving them practical tools for everyday church operations.
He has always made himself available to us. He is indeed a Pastor’s Pastor. His knowledge in church operations and finances are a great asset in so many ways to our church.
Steve is a man of integrity, strong character, and exudes passion in everything he does.”

“Steve Smith is uniquely gifted and equipped to speak into a desperate need for most churches. As pastors, we are men of God but often need much help in the areas of business management, administration of ministries and financial management. Steve’s burden and calling is to come alongside the pastor as a consultant to help the church become more effective in every way.
Steve served with me at Life Christian Church in these capacities for 20 years and helped our church through all the various stages of growth and the management structure changes that these stages bring. He has the unique blend of sharp business acumen and the heart of a Shepard. I highly recommend him. I know he will be a blessing to you and your church”

“Steve Smith is a man
with a passion for helping churches and the pastors who lead them. His unique
gifting and years of experience have equipped him with the wisdom and ability
needed to bring excellence to a side of the ministry that is often lacking in
many churches. While administrative tasks such as creating a budget, developing
policies and procedures for a growing staff, as well as the development and
implementation of a strategic plan for moving the church forward can often seem
to be both burdensome and daunting to many pastors, these are the areas that
Steve excels in.
I’ve had the privilege of
working with Steve in two very different settings: one as the pastor of an
established, growing church where the administrative side of the ministry needed
adjustments and changes on a regular basis in order to keep up with the rest of
the ministry, and most recently as the pastor of a church plant where I was
starting from square one and everything needed to be set in order. In both
settings, Steve’s counsel and expertise were and continue to be an invaluable
resource.
I highly recommend Steve
to any church or pastor looking for assistance in bringing a new level of
effectiveness and excellence to their ministry."
