law and compensation management
BOULDER,
Colo., July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gloo, the
leading technology platform dedicated to connecting the faith
ecosystem and releasing its collective might, announced the
acquisition of two trusted ministry-serving organizations, Church
Law & Tax and ChurchSalary, from their previous owner,
Christianity Today International (CT). The transaction underscores
the Gloo commitment to equipping ministry leaders with innovative
technology solutions and expert thought leadership across a variety
of ministry functions.
"Since 2005, these brands have been part of CT's mission to
encourage and equip the Church to be the Church," said
Tim Dalrymple, Christianity Today
CEO and president. "We recognize that Gloo has a depth of
engagement with ministry leaders that can carry the value of these
brands even further. We are grateful for our long and enduring
partnership with Gloo, and we will continue to support them
throughout this transition in every way we can."
With the mission of equipping church leaders with the knowledge
and tools to navigate complex legal and financial landscapes,
Church Law & Tax serves a range of church leaders from
executive pastors to financial administrators. In addition to a
rich library of resources on ChurchLawandTax.com, it offers expert
guidance including well-known resources like its annual Church
& Clergy Tax Guide, Pastor, Church & Law, Fifth
Edition, and Church Finance, Second Edition.
"For decades, Church Law & Tax has provided leaders with
legal, financial and tax knowledge they need to navigate
complexities and challenges they often face in their roles," said
Matt Branaugh, business owner of
Church Law & Tax. "Through the Gloo platform, our tools will
assist even more pastors and leaders for decades to come, helping
them lead their congregations with confidence."
ChurchSalary empowers church and ministry leaders to make
informed decisions about salary and compensation for their unique
ministry contexts. The platform offers comprehensive salary reports
and calculators along with expert-led training resources. By
providing up-to-date insights and information, ChurchSalary helps
leaders navigate toward fair and competitive salaries that reflect
their own unique needs and circumstances.
"Compensation is a crucial aspect of church management and
financial stewardship," said Aaron
Hill, business owner of ChurchSalary. "In six short years,
we have become the ministry standard for providing accurate and
actionable salary information. Joining the Gloo platform will
enable us to serve more churches, make a greater impact on pastoral
and staff compensation, and innovate new features and tools that
will ultimately foster a healthier and more equitable work
environment for ministry leaders."
Collectively, both organizations serve over 100,000 church
leaders with free and premium resources and are considered the
trusted sources for tools and ongoing guidance in church legal and
administration matters.
"We are incredibly excited to welcome both Church Law & Tax
and ChurchSalary into the Gloo family of brands," said Brad Hill, chief solutions officer at Gloo.
"Both organizations have a proven track record of delivering
exceptional value to church leaders. By integrating their
capabilities into the Gloo portfolio of offerings, we can serve
more church leaders in even more comprehensive ways, ultimately
helping their organizations thrive."
As Gloo continues to expand its portfolio of technology,
services and resources to over 200,000 church leaders, it seeks to
better connect the full spectrum of ministry leaders — from pastors
and executive pastors to children's ministry leaders and small
group leaders — with the resources they need to thrive in an
increasingly complex and dynamic environment.
Gloo is the trusted platform that releases the
collective might of the faith ecosystem. As a leading technology
innovator, Gloo is a tech platform that connects ministry leaders
to resources, people, data and insights and funding so their people
and communities flourish and their organizations thrive. Gloo is

servant leaders in the church through world-class compensation
tools supported by educational, inspirational and empowering

gospel-centered conversations about pay, reduce the stigma
surrounding church pay and finances, encourage dialogue around
