Pastor Kurt believes in the importance of the local church. As Paul told Timothy, the church is the pillar and ground of the Truth. Kurt Owen Ministries (KOM) is willing to go wherever God sends and often it is to churches where others may not be willing to go. Pastor Kurt has often been told by pastors that they were hesitant to invite guest speakers because of the size of their church or because of the problems in their church. When Pastor Kurt or a member of the KOM team shows up to a church, the goal is to build up the church, to remind the congregation of the importance and value of their pastor and to be a blessing to the pastors and church members. The partners of KOM often send Pastor Kurt and/or the KOM team to assist churches. (We are very grateful to the partners of KOM for helping us help churches!)

Pastor Kurt also tries to help the church grow by offering unique trainings for the church to host in their community with important and popular topics such as Women’s Self Defense and Church Security. Many churches have been blessed by these opportunities as they were empowered to reach outside their church to community members who may not have ever previously visited a church. At the conclusion of each training, Pastor Kurt communicates to the participants that the host church thinks they are important and encourages them to attend a service and talk to other church members. While Pastor Kurt does not charge for the Women’s Self-Defense Training, he gives the local church the opportunity to charge a fee for the class (most have opted to charge about $25/person and the value of the class is $150/person). The purpose for charging a fee is two-fold, people invest in their personal development in addition to the church being blessed by the event.

Frequently, Pastor Kurt will minister to churches that are in crisis and help support the church, stabilize the situation and, when necessary, help implement church discipline.

Additionally, KOM provides beneficial training and conferences to churches on many valuable topics including but not limited to:

1. 1.
   Recognizing, Honoring & Supporting the Gift & Office of The Pastor
2. 2.
   Church Discipline
3. 3.
   The Importance & Value of Serving in Your Local Church

7. 7.
   Church Security Training

Very soon after being saved, God gave Pastor Kurt a heart for Pastors and Ministers. Having now been in full-time ministry for more than 30 years, Pastor Kurt Owen has encouraged many pastors and ministers. Pastor Kurt provides pastors and ministers a safe place to fellowship as well as to confer godly, wise counsel.

Many Pastors and Ministers whom Pastor Kurt has helped were tired and discouraged, and many had quit the ministry. Utilizing Biblical truths, Pastor Kurt has ministered encouragement, training and refreshing to those who had grown faint in well doing. There are many ministers ministering, pastors pastoring and churches standing because Pastor Kurt has remained faithful to his calling. Additionally, KOM helps restore pastors and ministers who have fallen into sin or because of hardship have given up their calling; always free of charge. Our heart is to see all pastors and ministers successful in their ministry and their walk with God.

KOM has a Licensing and Ordaining body named Ministers of Victory, where godly leaders are equipped, empowered, refreshed and released into their God-given callings and ministries.

Practical resources are provided to ministers free of charge to assist them in successfully ministering to the needs of others. Many times, ministers do not know how to minister: a wedding, a funeral, a baby dedication, a baptism, pre-marital counseling, healing, or church discipline, and KOM provides these tools.
