About
At Virtual Executive Pastor, we understand that not every church can afford an Executive Pastor or Church Administrator. We specialize in helping Pastors by filling the gap and providing the necessary services to keep the church moving forward. Whether your church needs assistance with strategic planning, leadership development, financial management, communications, or operational support, we are ready to help.
We partner with churches to provide the operational and administrative support necessary for them to thrive. Many pastors and their teams face challenges in managing day-to-day operations while still focusing on their core ministry. Our aim is to bridge that gap by offering tailored solutions to enhance efficiency and effectiveness within your church.
By partnering with us, Pastors can access a range of services, including financial management, budgeting, expense management, giving, bookkeeping strategic planning, and marketing/communications. We are dedicated to assisting religious organizations in streamlining their operations and relieving administrative burdens, enabling Pastors and their teams to concentrate on their mission and congregation.
Matthew Dillingham, MBA, MDiv - Founder
As a seasoned leader, I bring over 20 years of experience in Operations, Finance, and Communcations to churches and non-profit organizations. My belief that the church can be a transformative force in the world led me to pursue both a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Divinity.
This eventually led to me starting Virtual Executive Pastor, an organization that provides administrative and operational support to churches of all sizes. As someone who has worked alongside other Pastors, I know the time and toll it takes on people when facing not only their pastoral duties, but also the administrative work as well. It is my goal to make the lives of Pastors easier, so they can focus on their mission of serving the church.
Prior to joining Virtual Executive Pastor, I spent eight years as an Executive Pastor where I helped the churches I served develop and execute strategic plans to grow their ministries and reach more people with the gospel. My work there included budgeting, financial analysis, communications, staffing, IT, facilities management and process improvement. This experience has given me a unique perspective on the challenges faced by pastors and church leaders, and I use this perspective to help churches develop practical, effective solutions to their most pressing problems.
