With your limited time, you want to know from the get-go what makes this community unique.
Geographically Focused
We work with nonprofits that are ministering right here in Houston. This allows us to synergize our efforts, do site visits, and meet face-to-face with leaders and constituents.
Longitudinally Committed
We stay connected with the same group of nonprofits over time (1-2 years). Doing this means we really understand the inner workings of each organization and can see the application and results of our interactions.
Thematically Structured
Each quarterly Barnabas Gathering is organized around a particular issue, a singular way that nonprofits differ from for-profits. We learn from a content expert and hear the reflections of the nonprofits in the room.
Personally Beneficial
We offer immediate and practical help for Partners wanting to better serve nonprofits. At each Barnabas Gathering, Partners gain information that is useful in their individual service contexts, and connections made with others in the room bear fruit between meetings.
Financially Accessible
With two Partnership tiers and both monthly and annual payment options, everyone finds an affordable way to Partner with us.
Fellowship of Barnabas Partners equips Christians to help nonprofits.
What does it mean to be a "faith-based" nonprofit?
Speaker: Michelle Shonbeck
Wednesday, Feb 26
Breakfast 7:30a to 9:30a
Networking 9:30a to 11:30a (optional)
If a nonprofit is "faith-based," what does that mean about legal formation and IRS status, hiring, statements of faith and funding sources? What doors open, and which doors close? Michelle Shonbeck, Executive Director of Christian Community Service Center, will share wisdom she has gained in this area through more than thirty years in her role.
