Greetings!

We are overwhelmed at the response and support we have received for Alongside Ministries! Thank you for your kindness during this new season of ministry!

We wanted to share a quick update and get your feedback, as well. We have had ministers from other states reach out wanting to contribute their strengths and talents to Alongside Ministries and expand into their states.

We've also had several request assistance in various operating functions.

Here is the feedback we need from pastors, including executive, administrative, assistant pastors, etc., who oversee these functions in your local church.

- What assistance would you find helpful in areas such as governance compliance, operational procedures, etc.?

- For those needing temporary on-site assistance, what gaps are you needing help with (teaching, altar-work, musicians, etc.)?

- If you feel led to join our team, please let us know which state you are in and the area(s) of ministry in which you can contribute.

Please feel free to send us a DM if you prefer to respond privately.
Thank you for your feedback!

Exciting Updates from Alongside Ministries*!

We are incredibly grateful for the tremendous outpouring of support we've received! Truly, the need is greater than we realized.

In response, we've discovered that, while are initial focus was helping minister on site at smaller churches, we have received requests from churches of all sizes who need our support virtually, allowing us to remove the distance barrier and help serve more churches.

On-site, we can assist churches in the following areas:
- Altar-work
- Teaching (adults, Hyphen, youth)
- Prayer
- Bible studies
- Role-specific training
- Other support areas, as the Pastor directs

Through Zoom, phone calls, and email, we can also assist with:
- Leadership training
- Role-specific training
- Growth strategies
- Financial planning
- And more…

If your church could benefit from any area of our ministry, on site or virtually, you may reach out to us at [email protected]. We are happy to help wherever we can, and there is never a fee for our services.

We are also happy to announce Alongside Ministries is a 501(C)(3) tax-exempt ministry, meaning that your generous donations are tax-deductible.

Your support helps us continue providing free services to churches in need.

Thank you for considering a donation to help us expand our reach and impact. The donation link is provided below.

We appreciate your support for the work we’re doing. Thank you for partnering with us in this ministry.

Welcome to Alongside Ministries! Our purpose is to come alongside pastors and provide temporary support and assistance in the areas they are needing.

Alongside Ministries is based out of First UPC, Ada, OK under Pastor Daniel Johnson.

We (John & Julene Litke) are excited for this new season of ministry that the Lord has called us to.

We will assist churches that reach out to us as the Lord guides. In addition to contributing to a church's services for several consecutive weeks, we will each operate in our strengths, experience, and knowledge as requested by the pastor. We can assist in organizational structure, leadership development, teaching, preaching, Bible studies, altar work, parliamentary procedure, accounting setup, financial guidance, real estate acquisitions, and financial assistance.

If you are a pastor who could use our help, or if you would like more information, you may send us a direct message.

There are never any fees for our services, as we desire to be a blessing to as many churches as we can.

Alongside Ministries is a 501C3 tax-exempt organization. For those who wish to support this ministry with a tax-deductible donation, you may do so here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/donate-to-make-a-difference-8947

We are grateful for your support and generosity!
God bless you!
