Coaching Churches to Grow and Thrive: Inside the Mission of Church Coach Ministries
We interviewed Jeremy Malick, founder of Church Coach Ministries to learn how CCM helps churches strengthen stewardship, assimilation, capital campaigns, and ministry impact through coaching and technology.
When Jeremy Malick transitioned from a decade-long career in banking to full-time ministry, he brought with him a unique perspective on stewardship, leadership, and systems. As the Founder of Church Coach Ministries, Malick now partners with churches across the country to help them grow stronger—both spiritually and operationally.
His team specializes in coaching churches in four key areas: assimilation, stewardship, vision campaigns, and the physical design of church spaces. But in today’s fast-paced, digital-first world, Church Coach Ministries has also found a vital partner in Tithely—a church technology platform that equips ministries with tools for giving, church management, and communication.
In this exclusive interview, Jeremy Malick shares insights into how churches can thrive in every season of ministry, the role of technology in reaching communities, and his encouragement for pastors who may feel overwhelmed.
Helping Churches Grow in Four Key Areas
Assimilation: Turning Guests Into Family
“A church’s ability to connect with first-time guests often determines whether they return,” Malick explains. “Assimilation is all about meeting people where they’re at and ultimately loving them into relationships with Jesus Christ.”
To help churches build clear pathways for guests to become fully engaged members, Malick emphasizes the importance of intentional systems and relationship-building. Technology plays a big role here too.
Tools like Tithely’s Church Management Software (ChMS) can automate follow-up communication with guests through email and text, manage small group sign-ups, and track involvement so no one slips through the cracks.
“Technology doesn’t replace relationships,” Malick says, “but it helps ensure no one gets missed.”
Stewardship: Creating a Culture of Generosity
With a background in banking, Malick brings practical wisdom to the area of church finances. But for him, stewardship is more than numbers.
“We believe generosity is a response to vision,” he says. “When people see the impact of their giving, they’re inspired to give generously.”
Church Coach Ministries trains leaders to create a culture of generosity by focusing on heart transformation and helping congregations understand the “why” behind giving.
Digital giving tools make it easier than ever for people to participate. Platforms like Tithely Giving offer online giving, text-to-give, and recurring options—removing barriers so generosity can become a natural rhythm for church members.
Vision Campaigns: Inspiring God-Sized Dreams
Malick’s team also helps churches launch successful vision and capital campaigns. But their approach goes beyond fundraising.
“Our vision campaigns are discipleship journeys,” he explains. “It’s about giving people an opportunity to hear the Lord’s voice and respond in obedience.”
Tithely’s pledge campaign features empower churches to track progress, celebrate milestones, and keep the congregation engaged throughout the campaign.
Physical Design: Building Spaces That Welcome
“A church’s physical space communicates volumes before a single word is spoken,” Malick says.
Church Coach Ministries guides churches in designing facilities that make guests feel welcome. Key focus areas include restrooms, children’s check-in, the auditorium, and refreshment areas—spaces that create natural opportunities for connection.
A secure children’s check-in, for example, is a non-negotiable for young families. Tithely’s check-in system provides a safe, seamless process that leaves parents and volunteers with peace of mind.
The Role of Technology in Modern Ministry
In a world where communication and connection increasingly happen online, technology is no longer optional for churches—it’s essential.
“Creating powerful stories is the first step. Sharing them effectively is the next,” Malick says.
He encourages churches to use multi-channel communication strategies, including a modern website and a custom church app, both available through Tithely’s All Access suite. These platforms make it easy to host sermon videos, share testimonies, and keep the congregation engaged throughout the week.
“Ministry is already hard,” Malick notes. “Administrative burdens can stifle a church’s effectiveness. Simplify and streamline wherever you can.”
Advice for Overwhelmed Pastors
For pastors who feel weighed down by administrative tasks, Malick’s advice is simple: focus on what only you can do and delegate or automate the rest.
This is where tools like Tithely shine. By providing an integrated system for giving, church management, communication, and more, Tithely helps churches reduce administrative headaches and free up leaders to focus on what truly matters: people.
A Vision Only God Can Do
As our conversation closes, Malick offers encouragement to church leaders:
“God doesn’t give you a vision only you can do. He gives you a vision only He can do. It requires our obedience, prayer, and faith steps.”
For churches ready to take those steps, get in touch with Jeremy Malick and the team at Church Coach Ministries.
