We Are Passionate About Helping Ministries Grow
Why We Started Ministry Boost
In the world of family ministry, there lies an overwhelming struggle: the constant need for dependable volunteers. Family ministry leaders often find themselves in a battle against volunteer shortages, feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. They know they deserve a thriving ministry without the perpetual struggle for support.
That’s why Ministry Boost was started.
Nick Blevins, Kenny Conley, and Kevin Monahan started Ministry Boost in 2018 to empower church leaders with proven frameworks to effectively recruit and nurture volunteers.
With over 20 years of experience each in family ministry roles, Nick, Kenny, and Kevin understand the pain points of recruiting volunteers all too well. Their personal journey has seen them navigate the challenges of building healthy family ministries, and they are passionate about helping others avoid those same pitfalls. They witnessed firsthand the transformational power a strong volunteer base can bring—and they wanted to pass that knowledge on to fellow ministry leaders.
It All Began with Coaching
From the outset, Ministry Boost started as a series of mastermind coaching groups, providing community, support, and accountability to church leaders on their journey to create thriving family ministries. Thousands of church leaders joined them, and over time, Ministry Boost’s reputation grew exponentially. With the help of their proven courses and resources, they’ve guided over 25,000 church leaders, transforming the way they approach volunteer recruitment.
With a partnership portfolio that includes prominent churches like Elevation and Mariners, Ministry Boost stands as a leader in the field. Their commitment to empowering church leaders to recruit and support volunteers is unparalleled. Those who follow their strategies experience significant success in building engaged volunteer teams and cultivating vibrant ministries. However, for those who choose not to embrace this support, the cycle of stress and volunteer shortages often continues.
