MinistryPreneurs
WHO WE ARE
Our WhyAn organization's mission statement is a succinct statement that expresses why the organization exists.MinistryPreneurs’ mission is to help churches equip entrepreneurs to run their business as a ministry.This is important because recent research from Barna Group shows that nearly 20% of church goers are entrepreneurially minded but less than 1% are being discipled in their work (pastorsandentrepreneurs.org).
Our WhatAn organization's vision statement is a forward-looking statement that describes what the misssion's success would look like.MinistryPreneurs' vision of what successfully achieving our mission would look like is flourishing communities, as Christians live out the Gospel in their businesses.We believe this because entrepreneurs create jobs, lift people from poverty, and have one of the greatest platforms for sharing the love of Jesus to help redeem a broken world. What if most of the Christian entrepreneurs in a community were running their business as a ministry to advance the Gospel in the marketplace?
Our ValuesAn organization's core values are a list of the essential values that guide the organization and its culture.MinistryPreneurs’ values are rooted in three Bible verses:1st We believe that our primary focus should always be to seek first the Kingdom of God as described in Matthew 6 (Matthew 6:33).
2nd We believe that we have been commanded to proclaim the Gospel (Mark 16:15).
3rd We believe that we are also commanded to make disciples (Matthew 28:19).
WHAT WE DO
Our ServiceThe Barna Group research previously referenced also shows that most churches, and in particular pastors, recognize the need to equip their entrepreneurs to run faith‑based businesses. This same research also shows that most churches and pastors do not feel they have the knowledge or experience to equip their entrepreneurs (pastorsandentrepreneurs.org).MinistryPreneurs helps bridge this gap by providing a complete solution for churches seeking to equip their entrepreneurs to run their businesses as a ministry. We establish and facilitate small groups comprised of up to twelve entrepreneurs. We have over ten years of experience facilitating such groups and use best practice methods, resources, and skills.Our Fees
MinistryPreneurs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that uses a George Müller business model. We do not charge a fee for our service, and we do not solicit donations. We believe God will provide all that is necessary to do all that He asks. While we do not solicit donations, we do accept donations as the primary avenue for God to funnel resources to support the ministry. If led to give, let God put the amount on your heart. We want all who are called by God to do business as a ministry to be able to participate.
