We Help Pastors

We help manage your church,

so you can do ministry.

You became a pastor because you want to help people follow Jesus.

But most days you feel more like a manager than a minister.

We’re here to help you take back your time, so you can focus on what you do best—care for people!

At We Help Pastors, we offer…

Experienced, executive-level operational support tailored to your church's needs, without the overhead of hiring a full-time staff member.

Brent Babcock - BIC Church Collective

“Eric led representatives from across all of our sites to reimagine how we do church. Eric's ability to bring it all together into a clear final package that the community was able to rally around was instrumental in our ability to relaunch into a brand new vision which is now being realized.”

Who We Are

Hi! I’m Eric Versluis, founder and CEO of We Help Pastors.

I’ve been a pastor for over 20 years in urban and rural churches of 50, 500 and 5000 people. In that time, I’ve done pretty much every job there is to do at a church.

I’ve seen too many pastors quit or burn out because all of their time was taken with the demands of managing a non-profit.

I also know how exhilarating ministry can be when you help people experience the life changing love of Jesus for themselves. There’s nothing like it.

I want to help you get to do more of that and less of the stuff that gives you a headache.

Over the decades, I’ve helped dozens of pastors spend less time managing their church and more time doing ministry, all while developing more margin in their daily life and helping their church thrive.

If you’re a pastor who could use some help, please book a free, no obligation, Discovery Session with us today and let us manage while you focus on ministry.
