A Partner (both spouses, if married) join the Barnabas Community to do 2 things: First, they bring their skills, experience and passion to help ministries increase their impact, and Second, they come to encourage the Community and the ministries we engage with. 

 The Quarterly Gathering is when our Community gathers together. We are challenged by a keynote speaker, there are then 3-4 ministry presentations with invitations to engage, and we promote things that are going on in and around the Barnabas Community. 

 The Barnabas Collective provides not only the Quarterly Gatherings, but opportunities to network together over a meal, opportunities to learn together virtually or in person, opportunities to coach around a Consult with a ministry or to coach one-on-one with a leader, and opportunities to serve. 

 You determine where you engage and how much time you give. Some Partners get very involved and build an ongoing relationship with a ministry or two. Some focus on helping to solve immediate issues with many different organizations. We encourage you to get involved where you're able to and also discourage you from trying to do everything! 

 We always say that your annual donation is for "more than a dinner"! Your donation makes everything that happens through the Barnabas Collective possible. Not only do you get access to our Gatherings and events, but you help provide many different services and support to ministries and ministry leaders: Coaching, Training, Encouragement and an opportunity for them to share the vision God has given them. 

Our Barnabas Associate Program is a full partnership program targeting young professionals between the ages of 20 and 35 years of age. Our Associates participate fully in all that Barnabas offers, but they also gather for Associate Events and receive one-to-one Coaching from a Barnabas Partner.
