The operational help your mission needs but can't afford to hire.
Barnabas connects your ministry to marketplace leaders who bring the strategy, finance, operations, and technology expertise your team needs. Not funding. Skilled people, matched to your real challenges.
How Barnabas works for ministries.
You bring the mission. We bring a marketplace leader whose career maps to your biggest operational gap. Someone who's run a budget cycle, built a technology stack, redesigned an intake process, or managed a team twice your size. The kind of person you'd hire if you could.
This isn't a volunteer program. It's a working partnership across months. Your partner gets to know your organization, your constraints, and your people. The goal is a problem solved, not a report filed.
You don't need another donor. You need someone who's done the work you're trying to figure out.
Three steps to getting help.
What ministry leaders say.
“I presented at a Barnabas Group Dinner and asked for help to start a localized advisory board — to build relationships with local pastors and churches so we could better realize our mission. My Advisory Board has been going strong for almost three years now. It has helped us hire three new area directors and has been a rock of wisdom and prayer support. Barnabas played a role in accomplishing our goal.”
“My experience with The Barnabas Group Inland Empire has been nothing short of transformative. I was introduced while preparing to step into the Executive Director role of another nonprofit, but God led me down a different path and called me to launch a new ministry, Aid The Way. When my plans changed, the leaders of Barnabas didn't step away or say, "Sorry, you no longer fit here." Instead, Jeff Abbott and the others chose to walk alongside me through the uncertain, clunky early stages of building something from the ground up—offering practical guidance, thoughtful questions, gentle challenges, and constant encouragement. As Executive Director of Aid The Way, the wisdom, relationships, and support I've received through The Barnabas Group have played a significant role in our growth. Their commitment goes far beyond mentorship—they genuinely invest in people and Kingdom-focused work. I don't believe Aid The Way would be what it is today without this remarkable community of leaders.”
