Karl Vaters

Karl Vaters is the author of four books.

• The Church Recovery Guide: How Your Congregation Can Adapt and Thrive after a Crisis
100 Days to a Healthier Church: A Step-By-Step Guide for Pastors and Leadership Teams
Small Church Essentials: Field-Tested Principles for Leading a Healthy Congregation of Under 250
The Grasshopper Myth: Big Churches, Small Churches and the Small Thinking That Divides Us

 

Karl produces resources for Helping Small Churches Thrive at KarlVaters.com. His heart is to help pastors of small churches (up to 90 percent of us) find the resources to lead well, and to capitalize on the unique advantages that come with pastoring a small church – something virtually every pastor will spend at least some of their ministry years doing. He also believes that big and small churches can and should work together more often – to the benefit and blessing of everyone.


Karl also hosts a bi-weekly podcast, The Church Lobby: Conversations on Faith & Ministry (Formerly, Can This Work in a Small Church?). Episodes feature in-depth interviews with a leaders about the topics that concern pastors, especially those who minister in a small church context.


Karl has written for many publications, including ChristianityToday.com, Outreach magazine, Church Law & Tax, and more.


Karl has been in pastoral ministry for over 40 years. He is the teaching pastor of Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, a healthy small church in Orange County, California, where he has ministered for over 30 years with his wife, Shelley. They have three children and two grandkids.

Workshops

Restored Churches Restore People

Kathy Jingling, Pastor of Quincy First Assembly, is a restored leader, pastoring a restored church that is restoring people back to God. She’s learned that no matter how hurtful a church’s history may be, Jesus can take “church hurt” and bring restoration. You can expect from this workshop that you’ll be encouraged by her personal story and her church’s story. Plus, you’ll have some practical tools to help equip your church to restore others.


Pastoring a Move of God

Brother Ray Jennings is the Network Affiliated Church Coordinator who goes on visitation with Pastor Andy to all our NAC churches. Ray has over 50 years of ordained ministry in the Assembly of God and understands an essential truth about revival in the local church: “We don't want to miss a move of God, but the Holy Spirit gives us an opportunity to pastor a move of God.” Come and be encouraged to learn how pastoral theology uniquely equips us to shepherd a move of God.
