Who's behind Tentmaker

From one co-vocational team to another.

Gateway Church

Teaching Team

  • TonyPastor / Entrepreneur
  • BrettPastor / School Teacher

Tony is a small business owner in our local community. Brett is a full-time teacher. The rest of our staff is co-vocational too. Everybody who preaches here has another job on Monday.

We aren't a megachurch. We're a church of about 150 people in a small town, and that's the room we preach to every Sunday.

We built Tentmaker for pastors like us, and for anyone leading a church without a staff behind them: solo pastors of small churches, part-time pastors, and volunteer teaching teams who share the pulpit.

One Framework

A teaching system that works

Over the years we've built a teaching system that works for a team with other jobs. Every message starts from one shared framework — Connect, Reveal, Transform, Send — no matter who's preaching that week.

It works for us, and we want to share it. Sermon Threads is that system, packaged so you can take it and make it your own.

"He fixes furnaces all week. Then he preaches."

Three Sermon Threads series so far, built on the same system our team uses every week.
