95Network

What 95Network does

95Network is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2016 by Jim Powell and headquartered in Simpsonville, South Carolina, with Dale Sellers serving as Executive Director since July 2018. The organization serves small and midsize church leaders across the United States, a segment it estimates comprises roughly 95% of American churches but lacks access to affordable, practical resources. Its mission centers on equipping pastors operating without large staff, budgets, or teams with the knowledge and support required for sustainable ministry.

The platform combines free content, paid programs, and a partner ecosystem. Free resources include the 95Podcast (350+ weekly episodes distributed via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and YouTube), an extensive categorized blog library, and lead-magnet tools such as the Healthy Church Assessment and Soul Care Essentials Checklist. Paid offerings span four coaching programs (Blueprint for a Healthy Church 6-month cohort, Small Church Pastor Mastermind 12-month cohort capped at 12 pastors, Digital Discipleship Coaching, and Volunteer & Hospitality Coaching), VisionDay consulting, four conference formats hosted at churches nationwide, and product sales including the $195 VisionBox kit, $195 StalledBox bundle, $10 Stalled book, and $40 Small Church Strategies modules. Compassion International underwrites most conference expenses, while a curated network of 40+ ministry partners extends capabilities into legal, counseling, communications, software, and staffing.

The business model blends donations, subscription coaching revenue, one-time product sales, and sponsored conference distribution. Go-to-market combines community-led engagement (free content and lead magnets driving top-of-funnel), event-driven acquisition (one-day conferences at host churches), and sales-led conversion (application-based coaching and mastermind enrollment). Membership also unlocks free access to RightNow Media's library. The organization operates with a core team of fewer than 10 people supported by distributed facilitators, podcast staff, and partner organizations.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Ministry Brands: Large SaaS and services platform offering church management software, giving, and background-check solutions (formed via combination of FellowshipOne, LifeWay, etc.). A broad incumbent in the church software and services space adjacent to 95Network's content and partner offerings.

Direct peers

• Church Revitalize Center: Provides revitalization, strategic and operational training to help struggling churches grow healthy — overlapping directly with 95Network's VisionDay consulting, coaching, and conferences aimed at small and midsize congregations.
• PastorServe: Strengthens the church by serving pastors through training, coaching and pastoral-care resources. Listed as a 95Network partner and addresses the same small-church pastor audience with similar coaching and soul-care services.
• The Unstuck Group: Church consulting and coaching firm that works with churches on vision, strategy, and action — including a specific small-church focus. Executive Director Dale Sellers previously consulted here, and 95Network lists it as a strategic partner, making it a directly comparable small-church support specialist.
• Transformational Discipleship: Discipleship training and implementation platform for church leaders, founded by 95Network's Discipleship Director Matt Adair. Overlaps directly with 95Network's Discipleship Facilitation & Coaching product.
• Church Answers: Provides church leadership training, content, and resources to pastors and church leaders across sizes, with comparable pastoral and church-health resources targeting a similar audience.

Others

• RightNow Media: Video Bible study and ministry content library providing 95Network members free personal access. Comparable as a church leadership content and resource platform, though it is an enabling/ecosystem partner rather than direct competitor.
• Acts 29: Church planting network whose former North American Director now leads 95Network's discipleship work. Comparable as a ministry support organization, but Acts 29 focuses on church planting rather than ongoing small-church leadership.
• Compassion International: Large child sponsorship and ministry organization that serves as 95Network's core financial partner, sponsoring one-day conferences nationwide. Comparable as a large-scale faith-based nonprofit but does not directly compete in the church coaching niche.

Emerging players

• Replenish Ministry: Leadership health partner helping leaders live well so they can lead well. Overlaps with 95Network's soul-care focus, including a free Soul Care Essentials Checklist, serving a similar pastor audience.
