Maximizing Ministry Potential
Strategic & Intentional
Ministries are chosen with great care, reviewed and vetted prior to presenting opportunities for service. Partners can trust the ministries are Christ-focused and responsibly run.
Professional & Relational
Made up of experienced professionals with time-earned skills and business acumen. Ministries come well-prepared. Building relationships with one another as well as ministry leaders is the basis of our success.
God-Focused & Ministry Minded
Ultimately, we desire to expand God’s Kingdom and grow stronger in relationship with Him. We do that by using our skills and passions to team up with exceptional ministries in meaningful ways.
Bold & Hopeful
We ask ministries to be upfront with their specific needs, and we go boldly forth with the hope of changing the world with our God-given gifts and divine appointments.
Servant Leaders & Faithful Stewards
We serve ministries with humility and a desire to come alongside, rather than dictate what should be done. We desire to steward the gifts and talents God has given us well by using them to further His Kingdom.
Parnter Based Mission
We aim to collaborate with other Kingdom leaders, collectively using our time, talents, and marketplace skills to help individual ministries in a way that is cohesive with their objectives, from small startups to large international organizations, helping to transform lives worldwide. Often times this is accomplished as partners meet other partners for the first time and come alongside ministries they are already engaged with!
Benefits of Parntership
Here is a small snapshot of the platform partnership provides each year for ministries and partners! What would happen if The Barnabas Group didn’t exist? There would be a tremendous void that would not be filled! Between the Orange County and San Diego chapters, these things happened this past year:
- We provide a unique platform that allows ministries — small to large — the opportunity to engage the time, talents and networks of our partners and attendees. This opportunity to get in front of 400 plus people would not exist without faithful partners that support the vision of the Barnabas Group!
- Each year partners have 5-8 well known Christian leaders come and challenge, encourage and educate us! Folks like General Jerry Boykin, Bruce Wilkinson, Bob Shank, Jim Daly, Alan Sears, Dr. Paul Nyquist, James Dobson, Phil Cooke, Dr. John Trent, Kara Powell and many others
