For ministries

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 it works

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.
The plan

Three steps to getting help.

01
Tell us where you're stuck.
The operational challenge that keeps coming back. The hire you can't make. The project that's been sitting on your whiteboard for two years. Start there.
02
We find the right match.
A marketplace leader whose specific career maps to your specific need. Strategy to strategy. Finance to finance. We do the pairing so you don't have to recruit.
03
They show up across a quarter.
Not a one day visit. A working relationship that solves the problem you described. On your timeline, at your pace, with someone who's done this before.

What ministry leaders say.

“The Partners of Barnabas Inland Empire have been helpful to us at Guidelines in practical and strategic ways, but more than that—they have been true encouragers as brothers and sisters in Christ. Beyond helping a ministry with organizational needs, Barnabas Partners are helping remove barriers so that more people are welcomed to the Kingdom through encountering the transformative message of the gospel.”
Bonnie SalaPresident/CEO, Guidelines
“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.”
