The Barnabas Group, Inland Empire
Partnership

Your expertise is the asset most ministries can't afford to hire.

Partnership means your career applied to the operating challenges inside ministries that need exactly what you've built. Strategy. Operations. Finance. Technology. Not a donation. A deployment.

The model

Your career, matched to a mission.

You get matched to a real operating challenge inside a ministry. Their budget process, their intake redesign, their technology stack. The kind of problem your career trained you to solve, inside an organization that can't afford to hire someone like you.

Quarterly gatherings bring the circle together. Between gatherings, the match continues. A working relationship across months, not a single Saturday. You show up with the judgment your career built. The ministry shows up with the mission it can't staff for.

The goal is a problem solved, not hours logged. Not a check written. The thing your money can't replace, deployed where it matters.

We don't need your money. We need the thing your money can't replace.
The plan

Three steps to the table.

01
A 15 minute conversation.
You tell us what you've built. The career, the skill set, the industries. We listen. No pitch, no obligation. Just a conversation about where your expertise could land.
02
A real world match.
We pair your specific expertise to a specific ministry challenge. Strategy to strategy. Operations to operations. The match is the work, and it's ours to get right.
03
Show up across a quarter.
Not a one day visit. A working relationship that gives a ministry the thing it can't afford to hire. And gives you somewhere to put what you've spent your career building.

What partnership means

What you get.

01
Your expertise, deployed.
The skills your career built, applied where they multiply. Not a check. Not a Saturday. The thing a ministry can't hire, and the thing you've been looking for a place to put.
02
A peer circle.
Marketplace leaders who've made the same bet you're making. That their professional life and their faith life aren't two separate things. Quarterly gatherings, shared language, mutual sharpening.
03
Named outcomes.
You'll know the ministry. You'll know the challenge. And when your work changes something, you'll see it. An intake process redesigned. A budget cycle unlocked. A three year plan that fits on one page.

Who we work with

The ministries around the table.

A sample of the ministry partners our marketplace leaders work alongside. Each one brought a real operating challenge. Each one got a real answer.

Strategy
Love Life
Pro-life ministry mobilizing churches through prayer; sought an advisory board to guide its Southern California expansion.
Strategy
Engage to Go Ministries
Ministers at large-scale rave festivals, helping and discipling young adults; sought awareness and more volunteer Rave Mom and Dad team members.
Technology
Guidelines International
Global media ministry creating scripture-based programs in 40+ languages; sought project-management advisory to track 100+ translation projects.
Leadership
Mission to Children
Children’s ministry reaching kids worldwide; its leader sharpened how he hires through the Executive Directors Forum and a coaching connection.

The details

What it costs.

Transparency matters. Here's what partnership looks like on paper.

Annual partnership
$1,500 per year. Covers your company and up to five team members. Includes gatherings, matching, and ministry access. Renews annually.
Gathering rhythm
Quarterly. Half day sessions with the full circle. Marketplace partners, ministry leaders, and the Barnabas team.
Time commitment
Flexible. Direct ministry engagement happens on your schedule. Over coffee, on a call, in the margins of your week.
What it's not
A board seat. A tax strategy. A volunteer day. It's a working relationship with a ministry that needs what you already know how to do.
