Bringing Restoration Back to the “Movement”.
Welcome to a ministry that encourages, supports, and loves the rural church and the pastors who serve them faithfully.
This is The Kingdom Partnership!
A Kingdom Partnership is a gospel-driven relationship between churches that pray, encourage, and share resources together to strategically to glorify God through kingdom advancing goals that revitalize congregations, build relationships, support pastors, they could not achieve on their own.
We at The Kingdom Partnership believe in the rural church. The Kingdom Partnership is based on three key motivations.
- Fellowship and Unity. The Apostle Paul saw the churches he established as a unique way to draw them together and display a unity in the Spirit. The most powerful word Paul uses is ‘koinonia’, literally meaning ‘sharing’ or ‘fellowship’
- Evangelism. Evangelism is hard enough when you’re simply reaching out to those you know. Partnership churches can extend the gospel throughout their communities with the strength of one another
- Compassion and Encouragement. When Paul wrote to the Galatians, possibly with the goal of recruiting them into a partnership, he said, “As we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:10
What Makes a Partnership?
- First and foremost, partnerships are marked by the compelling vision designed in the Gospel.
- The unifying vision in a partnership is so compelling that it leads to a culture of sacrificial commitment and intrinsic rewards.
- Partnerships spontaneously produce new ideas and leaders and therefore grow from within.
What Does a Participating Church Receive in a Kingdom Partnership?
We need to remember that engaging with the Body of Christ involves engaging with Christ Himself, and Jesus said He came not to be served but to serve.
That being said there are many benefits you and your rural congregation can gain form other Partnership churches.
- Stronger gospel fellowship. Fellowship between churches often leads to a stronger Kingdom Partnership and engaging in ministry together can help unite leaders even more than previously known.
- For leaders and pastors in small churches this kind of committed fellowship cane be a lifesaver. It can be lonely to be a pastor in a small congregation.
- Encouragement, inspiration, and refreshment. When you partner together in a kingdom partnership, old and tired congregations are revitalized by the energy of an amped-up church. All of our churches are refreshed as we begin to stop looking at ourselves.
- Greater passion for other areas of ministry. Enthusiasm grows in your church. When people start to see tangible ways, God is working out there, they tend to gain a greater vision for what He can do for their church.
- Tangible assistance. If you are part of a church that’s small in numbers but big in vision, a Kingdom Partnership may be the way God plans to provide the resources you need to fulfill the mission He gave you.

I’d love to visit with you about the ‘partnership.’ Many churches have already jumped on board forming their own partnerships with other area churches. I can speak to your leadership, present a motivational message entitled “Wake Up Church! or provide further information.
