MINISTRIES

What Barnabas does for ministries

We come alongside ministries to help them increase their impact and effectiveness. What do that by:

Quarterly Summits

We invite select ministries to present to our Barnabas Community at one of our Quarterly Summits. Ministries invite our Partners and Guests to bring their Time, Talent & Network to help a ministry address an issue.

Benefits to Ministries

Partnering with ministries to help nurture their calling with Kingdom impact. We do that by:

Gain new perspective on your ministry

The Barnabas Group application process is designed to:

1) Help ministry leaders view their organization through the perspective of a business leader

2) Help identify and define opportunities where Barnabas Group partners can assist by bringing their Time, Talent & Network in support of the organization.

What does a Partner do?

A Partner (both spouses, if married) join the Barnabas Community to do 2 things: First, they bring their skills, experience and passion to help ministries increase their impact, and Second, they come to encourage the Community and the ministries we engage with.
What does a Quarterly Summit look like?

The Quarterly Summit is when our Community gathers together. We are challenged by a keynote speaker, there are then 3 - 4 ministry presentations with invitations to engage , and we promote things that are going on in and around the Barnabas Community.
What other opportunities are there to engage?

The Barnabas Group provides not only the Quarterly Summits, but opportunities to network together over a meal, opportunities to learn together virtually or in person, opportunities to coach around a Consult with a ministry or to coach one-on-one with a leader, and opportunities to serve.
What is the time commitment?

You determine where you engage and how much time you give. Some Partners get very involved and build an ongoing relationship with a ministry or two. Some focus on helping to solve immediate issues with many different organizations. We encourage you to get involved where you’re able to and also discourage you from trying to do everything!
How much is the donation to be a Partner?

We have a couple of options: Full Partners are $2,400 annually or $200 monthly. If you pay in full we discount it to $2,000 a year by January 15th.

What does my annual donation cover?

We always say that your annual donation is for “more than a dinner”! Your donation makes everything that happens through the Barnabas Group possible. Not only do you get access to our Summits and events, but you help provide many different services and support to ministries and ministry leaders: Coaching, Training, Encouragement and an opportunity for them to share the vision God has given them.
