You’ve read the strategy guides.

You’ve been told to “just post more” or “run a quick ad.”

Maybe you even have a vision for what your church’s online presence could be.

But here’s the hard truth: without the right tools — and the confidence to use them — strategy alone won’t get you there.

The good news?

That’s exactly where The Skills Lab comes in.

A woman with shoulder-length reddish-brown hair sits at a desk using a silver laptop, smiling at the camera. She is in a well-lit room with a window, a potted plant, and a camera on her lap. There is a cup of coffee, a notebook, and a pen on the desk.

Most clergy, staff, and volunteers get stuck in the same loop:

  • Hours lost to YouTube tutorials that don’t actually match your setup.

  • Canva or Squarespace that never looks the way it “should.”

  • Wrestling with Facebook/Instagram ads late at night.

  • Wanting to use AI tools but having no idea where to start.

It’s overwhelming. It’s exhausting. And it leaves you feeling like you’re always behind.

But you’re not behind — you just haven’t had the hands-on support that makes digital ministry doable.

That’s exactly what The Skills Lab is here for.

INTRODUCING THE

Digital Ministry Skills Lab

Hands-on, personalized training to help you finally get unstuck with the tools your church is actually using.

I’ve spent countless hours training my colleagues in these exact platforms — and now, I’m opening this up to the wider community.

Think of The Skills Lab as the missing link between idea and done. Instead of staying stuck in the “someday” pile, you’ll walk away with real progress made, new skills in your pocket, and the confidence to keep going.

The Skills Lab is designed to help you:

  • Save hours by skipping endless, generic tutorials.

  • Build confidence in Canva, Meta, Squarespace, and AI tools like ChatGPT.

  • Make real progress — not just collect tips you never use.

  • Equip your team (if you have one) so you’re not carrying the digital load alone.

Instead of stressing about technology, you’ll step away with clarity, confidence, and real results every time we work together.

Imagine how it will feel to:

  • Go from “I have no idea what I’m doing” → to “I know exactly where to click.

  • Go from “Our website looks outdated” → to “Our homepage feels like us and welcomes people in.

  • Go from “I’m afraid of AI” → to I know how to use it to save hours of time every week.

  • Go from “We never post consistently” → to “We finally have a rhythm that feels doable.

I’m Leslie — and I’ve been living and breathing church life for over 20 years.

As a Director of Music and Digital Ministry, I’ve been the one trying to balance Sunday deadlines, design tools, and the constant pressure of “just one more thing.”

I’ve trained colleagues, volunteers, and clergy to use the very same tools you’re wrestling with now.

And I know firsthand: when you finally have the practical skills to match your strategy, digital ministry stops being overwhelming and starts being exciting.

That’s what the Digital Ministry Skills Lab is all about.
