Sermonary: The App (Specifically for Pastors!) that Streamlines Sermon Writing and Slide Creation

Pastors run into the same problem every week—building an engaging sermon. Sermonary is a sermon-writing platform that delivers an unprecedented level of organization to better help you prepare and preach more compelling sermons—every week.

SPECIAL OFFER: 33% OFF ONE YEAR OF MINISTRY PASS + SERMONARY

$748 VALUE FOR ONLY $497!

When you're a busy pastor trying to "do it all", life can get out of balance pretty quickly. You need a way to accomplish more without maxing yourself out.

As a busy pastor, it’s hard to focus. You don’t have a big team — so you have to wear lots of different hats. You want to write and preach compelling sermons. You want to minister faithfully to your congregation. But you keep getting pulled in different directions.

When you finally sit down to work on your sermon, you feel like you’re squeezed for time and energy. Preaching is a major part of your responsibility — so how did it end up like this? Why does it seem like your study time always gets the short straw? It would also be nice to have polished images and media for your sermon, too… but there’s no budget for a full-time creative person.

Building a strong active congregation is important, but you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your ministry or your personal life to make it all work.

We believe there’s a better way.

Ministry Pass Gives You Supportive Content & a Plan — No More Having to “Do It All”

Ministry Pass provides you with the content you need to prep, promote, and preach compelling sermons, but it also offers resources for youth and children’s ministry. You don’t have to do everything by yourself — we are here to help you grow your congregation and teach them well, every single week.

Prepare With over 1000 Complete Sermon Series to Choose From

Our library includes both topical and book-of-the-Bible series that are filled with Scripture, biblical research, big ideas, bullet points, and sermon illustrations to kickstart your sermon prep. (Small group questions are included!)

Plan With our 12-Month Sermon Series Calendar

This is a favorite among our members. We schedule out an entire year of sermon series for you, even for youth and children’s ministry, so that you can plan out the year easily.

Promote with Media and Graphics for Every Series

You can post ready-to-use images on social media, present slides, play a bumper video, and print artwork on your bulletin. (We even provide layered Photoshop files in case you want to customize the graphics yourself).

Sermonary is great! I wrote my grandpa’s funeral service there and was able to access it remotely even when I forgot my message. Helps me stay organized and on point during my messages and podium view always let’s you see the time! Give it a try!

Love Sermonary’s ability to keep me organized and on point–and these guys are not finished yet and continue to work on adding and adjusting the interface based on user feedback. I cannot recommend Sermonary enough, and they are just getting started!!

Sermonary is the only way to go when it comes to sermon preparation. I’m also super impressed with the development and customer service. I won’t go back to writing sermons any other way!

“Exactly What I’ve Been Praying For”
Brent Sloan’s Story

How Ministry Pass Is Helping Other Pastors Just Like You

What Would It Be Like to Finally Be Able to Focus on Preaching and Pastoral Ministry Again?

If you feel like your many responsibilities as a pastor have strained your ability to write sermons, tend to your family life, and minister personally to your church, ask yourself these questions:

What would it be like if you could effortlessly organize your preaching schedule for the year — no hassle, no scramble, no frustration?

How would it feel if you could equip your youth and children’s ministry leaders or volunteers with ready-to-use resources so that they can succeed?

What kind of difference would it make to be able to find a healthy balance between your pastoral duties and your home life?

What would it mean for you to be able to relax and focus on the people you’re ministering to instead of playing “whack-a-mole,” feeling pressed for time and unable to concentrate on what matters?

How would people respond if you were able to promote your messages more and achieve the look and feel of a church with a bigger team or budget?

When you become a member of Ministry Pass and Sermonary, you’re saying “YES” to receiving a vital helping hand and utilizing your time in the best possible way. You shouldn’t have to do it all — and the truth is, no one is built for that. If you burn out, who will take care of the people you minister to?

Ministry Pass provides you with resources to make Sundays go smoother so you can get back to doing what you do best: preaching the Word to those who need to hear it.

You Can Always Do What You’ve Been Doing

You can always do things the way you’ve been doing them until now… but the time crunch is only going to get worse. Ministry Pass and Sermonary doesn’t have to be the solution for you, but if you’re trying to do everything yourself, it will eventually catch up to you.

These resources have relieved heavy weekly burdens for thousands of other pastors. You already know the results of doing it the same way — stress and frustration. Why not try something different and experience freedom instead? The choice is up to you!

5/5

Ministry Pass is an amazing resource for churches of all sizes. As a church planter, I love how thoughtful the team at Ministry Pass is on creating resources to help churches fulfill their calling! You will find sound and biblical resources to help you disciple the flock that the Lord has entrusted to you!

Casey Cease

Lead Pastor, Christ Community Church

5/5

Justin and his team have hit a home run with their Sermon Calendar. They have combined time saving sermon outlines with the ease of done-for-you sermon graphics. For part-time pastors trying to manage the tension of running a church while working another job, this is a must use.

Ryan Holck

Creator, Graphics.Church

5/5

One of the best resources for pastors and media teams out there. The yearly sermon calendar is a unique offering and really helps in getting ahead and out from behind the 8ball in a preaching schedule.

Media Pastor, Liquid Church

I’m Justin Trapp, Founder of Ministry Pass

Hey, I’m Justin Trapp, the founder of Ministry Pass and co-founder of Sermonary. I used to run a creative agency that provided media to pastors who didn’t have graphic designers on staff. I discovered that 85% of pastors are running churches with 200 people or less — and they’re having to juggle a LOT of responsibilities on their own.

That’s why I created Ministry Pass. I wanted to offer pastors sermon resources to kickstart their writing process and streamline their preparation for Sundays.

With Ministry Pass, pastors who wear a dozen hats can preach compelling sermons every week, even if they’re pressed for time. I used to be a part-time pastor, and I know how much of a difference it makes when you have resources.

With Sermonary, you save even more hours and mental energy with a drag-and-drop builder for creating sermons — plus, easy ways to share and export to slides. Say goodbye to endless cutting, pasting, and formatting! Ministry Pass and Sermonary are designed to free you up so that you can get back to doing what you do best: preaching and ministering to your people. Let me show you how.
