Purpose of This Website
Titus 1:5 Ministry is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ministry that exists to empower churches and leaders to thrive in their mission of carrying out the Great Commission.
This website provides information about Titus 1:5 Ministry and may make available ministry resources, assessments, ministry-support opportunities, charitable giving opportunities, and other materials intended to encourage pastors, strengthen leaders, and support local churches.
Website content and resources are provided for general ministry, educational, and informational purposes and should be used with prayer, biblical wisdom, appropriate leadership accountability, and professional counsel when appropriate.
Ministry Support
Information provided through this website does not create a pastoral, counseling, consulting, fiduciary, employment, attorney-client, or other professional relationship merely by accessing the website, completing an assessment, submitting a form, or requesting ministry support.
Submitting a request for ministry support does not guarantee that Titus 1:5 Ministry will be able to provide assistance, funding, coaching, consulting, or other services.
The nature, availability, timing, and extent of any ministry support will be determined based on the circumstances of the request, available resources, ministry priorities, and any additional agreements that may be appropriate.
Assessments and Ministry Resources
Assessments and other resources available through Titus 1:5 Ministry are intended to help pastors and church leaders reflect on ministry health, leadership, organizational effectiveness, and related areas.
Assessment results are not professional diagnoses, guarantees, certifications, or comprehensive evaluations of a pastor, leader, church, or ministry.
Results should be considered as one source of insight and should be interpreted with prayer, wise counsel, appropriate church leadership, and consideration of the church’s particular circumstances.

In particular, assessment tools developed by David Smith Ministry—including assessment questions, frameworks, categories, scoring methodologies, reports, terminology, and related materials—remain the intellectual property of David Smith Ministry unless expressly stated otherwise. Making these resources available through Titus 1:5 Ministry does not transfer ownership of those materials to Titus 1:5 Ministry or to the user.
