Welcome to Pastors Portal. This is your ministry workspace for preparing Sunday, finding useful teaching and music, leading a gathering, and helping your people carry the message into the week. Start with the free tools, and return whenever you need them.

In Sunday Studio, name your gathering and choose your Scripture. Edit the eight service moments, assign leaders, and add congregation-facing slide text. Your preparation notes stay separate. Present when you are ready, and start music or video yourself.

In the Resource Room, choose the moment you need: before we start, praise together, teaching and reflection, or kids. Preview available recordings before your gathering. Clear labels show free selections, source links, and material still coming. Some Jesus and Jazz recordings and the dedicated children's song still need connecting.

In the Lesson Desk, explore Women of Color, American Bible Company, or the Sunday School Machine. Use your own notes or approved material to prepare a teaching companion. Save it in your device's lesson library, then add its discussion and weekly practice to Sunday. Direct paid book lessons are still being connected.

In the Print Desk, prepare a leader guide and participant sheet, or a take-home page. Your browser can print the pages or save them as a PDF. Enter your printer's quote to estimate the cost, then order independently from your chosen provider.

For daily ministry, keep a simple task list, prepare a meeting agenda, or adapt an invitation, volunteer briefing, or care message. These are drafts for you to review and send through your church's own channels.

Beyond the walls, create a handout with your Scripture, reflection, next gathering, and church contact. Carry the Word home. This edition saves work on your device, so download backups when moving between devices. Start with one useful step: build your Sunday.

01 / PREPARE

The Scripture. The flow. The people.

02 / PRESENT

Church, Zoom, or a small gathering.

03 / CARRY IT HOME

Your Life
Is a Harvest.

Featuring First Lady Jameel Meeks

A real voice to open a conversation about sowing, perseverance, and doing good. Preview the clip, then bring your own pastoral teaching to the passage.

Teaching preview · Confirm playback before the gathering

FREE TEACHING COMPANION

From the clip to the Word

Read: Galatians 6:7–10 in your church’s chosen translation.

  1. Observe: What does Paul contrast, and what encouragement does he give?
  2. Discuss: Where are we tempted to grow weary in doing good?
  3. Apply: Name one act of kindness you can sustain this week.
  4. Pray: Ask for patience, wisdom, and love for the people you serve.

Pastoral framing: avoid treating hardship as proof of someone’s failure, or promising a financial return for giving. Read the whole passage and make room for people carrying loss.

PROPOSED PRICING · NOT YET ON SALE

Useful first.
Reasonable when you need more.

Free: starter guides, lesson companions from your own notes, service planning, and return visits.

$9.99 four-lesson set: proposed for a coordinated series with teaching and take-home materials.

Use the same pack price across WOC and ABC; price follows the scope of the material, never the pastor’s race. SS Machine custom work can retain its published pricing.

Final source licenses, copy limits, downloads, and checkout must be connected before these packs are sold. Printing is charged separately by the printer. No subscription is required for the free starter.

Every paid pack should explain

The church/class covered, permitted copies, online teaching and screen use, participant sharing, attribution, and any restrictions. Buying a physical book alone does not authorize chapter reproduction.
