"I wanted to do more than write a check. Here, I use my professional skills to help transform local ministries..."
Our process gives you multiple pathways for impact. At our quarterly forums, you’ll hear directly from vetted ministries as they present their ‘top three’ strategic needs. This is your opportunity to respond in the moment, offering your expertise where it can make an immediate difference. For those who want to be more hands-on, you can also join our Vetting and S3 teams, using your experience to help select and coach ministries before they even present. You choose the level of involvement that best fits your calling.
Let’s get to know one another…
The Barnabas Group began with a simple question between its founders: What if experienced marketplace leaders weren’t just seen as checkbooks, but could use their professional skills to help ministries thrive? Starting with just 16 partners and a passion for connection, the idea of creating a community for Kingdom impact quickly took root. Today, our Inland Empire chapter proudly carries on that legacy, providing a trusted forum where leaders come alongside vetted ministries to help them succeed.
Pathways to Partnership & Impact
We've created a deliberate process and clear opportunities for you to effectively invest your time, talent, and experience in ministries that are poised for growth.
Our Vetting Process
We ensure every ministry presented has a clear vision, sound leadership, and a strategic need where our partners can make a real impact. This rigorous process provides the trust and confidence you need to invest your time wisely.
Strategic Solution Sessions (S3)
Want to make a targeted impact? In a 2-hour virtual S3 session, you can join a small team of partners acting as a board of advisors to help a local ministry tackle one of their biggest challenges or goals.
