What Is The Barnabas Group About

Ministries face daily challenges that hinder their ability to advance Christ’s Kingdom, whether in logistics, operations, networking, or finances. As a marketplace leader, you bring the strategic edge they need to overcome these obstacles.

Our group consists of dedicated leaders who apply business expertise to unlock the full potential of ministries. Our mission is to connect leaders with ministries where they can use their God-given gifts and calling to make a meaningful impact.

Testimonials

David Schafer

For the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of serving on the Vetting Committee, where I’ve gained insight into remarkable organizations dedicated to serving overlooked communities. We’ve provided valuable feedback and, in some cases, offered them the chance to present at our Quarterly meetings. This experience has broadened my understanding of groups committed to addressing both basic needs and creating educational opportunities for those who couldn’t afford them, making it a truly rewarding experience.

Debbie Martis

As Founder and CEO of Rebirth Homes, my first Barnabas Group meeting in 2015 was a source of encouragement as I heard ministries share about God's work and the invitation to join in. Shortly after, I connected with the Barnabas Group Board and had the opportunity to do a SWOT analysis. At the time, I was working full-time in ministry and volunteering for Rebirth Homes. Despite some fear, I made the bold decision to fully commit to Rebirth Homes. In 2017, Barnabas Group member Bridget joined our board, bringing her social work expertise and prayer. She also helped secure a fully built-out garage for our office through Barnabas, greatly improving our staff’s working conditions. This partnership has been a game changer, and we’re incredibly grateful for Barnabas Group's support in our mission to serve survivors of human trafficking.
