Inspiring A New Level Of Growth
In the last 30 years, 40 million people who used to attend church stopped their participation. Broom Tree Media exists for those who want to love the church – and who wish the church could do better and be better.
A recent study reported that 46% of pastors under the age of 45 say they are considering quitting full-time ministry. Broom Tree Media offers content and support to care for struggling leaders, and to imagine alongside them a model of leadership that leads to flourishing for leaders and their communities.
Research shows that 92% of individuals who actively engage with faith-based content online report a positive impact on their spiritual growth and connection with God.
