Launch a Ministry.

Are you looking to launch a child-hosting ministry to serve socially isolated families facing crisis?  Do you have the heart but feel overwhelmed and not sure where to start? 

We would love to help. 

In the Upstream Startup Package, you will get a seasoned personal coach to mentor you throughout the process.  This includes weekly phone/zoom calls that lead up to onsite consulting and strategic planning.  These calls will be critical in maximizing the onsite coaching you will receive.  This coach will be onsite with you for up to 3 days helping you connect and collaborate with key people, churches, and organizations to be successful in launching the ministry.  While onsite, your coach will also help you with the initial fundraising process.  Following the onsite coaching will be weekly touch points for another 4-8 weeks.  

Your upfront expense is zero dollars.  Your investment will be $5000* that will be due 2 weeks after the onsite coaching is complete.  This unique collaboration and coaching, however, will give you a great jumpstart for you to cover this cost and any other initial startup expenses that are typically associated with the launch of a new non-profit.  If you foresee finances to be a hurdle, please talk with us.  You could apply to win a scholarship to, in the least, cover some of the costs.  

We are confident that we can help you get a great, healthy start to launching a child crisis hosting ministry.  We will help with everything from logistical excellence to philosophy of ministry and everything in between.

*We cover our lodging and food costs during the onsite consultation.  We just ask that you cover our travel costs (which can be billed later if necessary)

*Your $5000 investment also includes a one year membership to our Upstream Collaborative online community where you will find an abundance of resources, encouragement, and more collaboration.  You will also get a 20% discount for up to 5 people for our annual family preservation conference.

*Often times you can find a sponsor to cover the cost of this robust coaching opportunity.  Let us help you with that as well.
