SIMEON MAY, PHILL MARTIN & THE CHURCH NETWORK:
Equipping better church management for 60+ years
Generally, church administration professionals “land” in their roles
in one of two ways: from the pew / business world, or from the
seminary — something The Church Network™ CEO Simeon May
and Deputy CEO Phill Martin know all too well. After all, they’re prime
examples of these two divergent paths.
And it’s precisely this varied, in-the-trenches knowledge which
has helped them serve association members successfully for more
than 20 years.
