As I travel around and continue to do more and more work in executive search for churches, I find I’m running into more and more great resources for people in church work. Resources are even more cool when they are run by people I know. Take a look at these two solutions for part time staffing needs:

1. Sermon Transcription – Don’t you wish there were an efficient way to get transcriptions of your church’s sermons? Ginger Schell has built a great thing in Digital Sermon Transcriptions. Digital Sermon Transcription converts audio sermons into text format for pastors, church leaders, authors, and publishers. They provide polished transcripts that can be given to church members or posted online and rough draft sermon transcripts for a reduced rate to individuals who plan to use them in blog posts, newsletters, or as the basis of books. They transcribe all digital formats, cassettes, CDs, and DVDs. Pretty impressive.

2. Outsourcing Part Time Work – Ever find yourself needing a part time assistant, bookkeeper, or executive pastor? Bryan & Shannon Miles have recently built the Miles Advisory Group, and you need to know it. Through flexible and creative outsourcing solutions (Virtual EAs, Virtual XPs, Bookkeepers, & CFOs) for churches, MAG enables churches to focus on their ministry with greater effectiveness. It’s a young company that is off to a fast and exciting start!

Hope that’s a help to you in church work!
