Partners
Through their presence, participation, and generosity, partners join us in helping people experience Jesus' goodness and contribute to the flourishing of our city.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is partnership only for churches?
No. We partner with leaders in business, community, and the Church — anyone who wants to see our city shaped by Jesus’ love in tangible ways.
Do I need to be a pastor or nonprofit leader to participate?
Not at all. Some of our most engaged partners lead companies, serve in the marketplace, or run small businesses. Partnership is for anyone who wants their influence to contribute to a flourishing city.
How do business leaders fit into this mission?
Business leaders help carry the mission into everyday spaces. Your influence in the marketplace creates space for people to experience Jesus’ goodness where work and community intersect.
Is Partnership open to small churches or organizations?
Absolutely. Partnership is about shared mission. Every partner matters and plays a vital role.
How does partnership make a difference in our city?
Partnership helps people encounter Jesus’ love and experience His goodness through shared learning, united leadership, and practical service that strengthens the places we call home.
Can partnership help businesses build meaningful community impact?
Absolutely. We help businesses connect with neighborhoods, schools, nonprofits, and churches to serve in ways that are strategic, relational, and sustainable.

Yes. Pastors, staff, colleagues, and volunteers are all welcome. Partnership creates opportunities for your team to learn, grow, and engage meaningfully.
Do I need to attend every gathering?
No. Come as you’re able. While there’s no requirement, our gatherings consistently offer meaningful value for leaders and teams.
Is there a financial commitment involved?
We say it this way: financial partnership is an opportunity, never an obligation. We welcome joyful, Holy Spirit-led generosity. While partnership is open to all, Champion Partners graciously invest according to their capacity and calling.
