WHY DO WE WANT TO PARTNER WITH YOU?

At North Point, we believe that one of the next great movements of faith is taking shape in the marketplace. In order to tap into this large and largely undeveloped area of influence, we have developed a strategy - Life Lessons Over Lunch. Through Life Lessons Over Lunch, we have a platform to bridge the gap between faith and the office.

While it is not the only marketplace ministry, Life Lessons Over Lunch is the model that has worked for us. It has proven to be both simple in its implementation and effective in transforming offices all over the country. Perhaps even more importantly, Life Lessons has proven to be sustainable over time.

We are now creating a network of churches that can use the Life Lessons strategy to engage their leaders who are looking to take a step of faith in their businesses. We want to partner with you in order to provide you with a cost-effective, turnkey strategy that allows you to simply and effectively establish a marketplace ministry in your church.

We believe that the simplicity of the model, coupled with the collected experience of our leaders, will set you up for success as you look to harness the energy that is already being generated in businesses all over the country.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US...

Partnering with us in this initiative gives you a head start in launching a ministry of your own. Here is what you can expect from us:

A turnkey ministry model designed to equip your leaders to engage their workplace.
This includes:
- Initial printed promotional materials to launch your ministry
- Additional branded print media (as needed) at a substantially reduced cost
- Consultative services of our staff
- Locally branded web space at LifeLessonsOverLunch.com, including tools to empower your leaders
- Media kit including images for signage, documents for equipping your leaders, and promotional videos
- Access to future marketing initiatives (e.g. print media, video, etc.)
- Access to North Point Ministries sermon series
- Collective experience of over seven years of implementing this strategy.

WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM YOU...

It is our desire that this be a partnership that really benefits the work you are doing and allows us to continue to support this model. Here is what we expect of our partner churches:
- Partners pay an annual fee of $250 to cover the costs associated with maintaining the web services, providing DVDs, and on-going consulting.
- Partners provide quarterly progress updates on the status of Life Lessons groups.
- After the initial supply of promotional materials has been exhausted, additional printed materials are to be purchased by the partner church through North Point, leveraging our ability to buy in bulk.

NEXT STEPS...

1. Application
Complete the attached Partner Application and turn it in to North Point.
2. Phone Interview
Within two weeks after North Point receives your application, you can expect a phone call from North Point staff for an interview. In the interim, you should meet with the Elders, Senior Pastor, or other church leadership to confirm that your church desires to pursue a Life Lessons partnership and gather your questions.
3. Final Paperwork
Within two weeks of the phone interview, we will notify you of whether your application has been approved. Upon approval, the partner church submits its $250 fee.
4. Plan and Launch
Upon receipt of your fee, North Point will send you a starter kit that includes your initial supply of printed materials, promotional videos, and "Getting Started" manual. At this time, we will also create your church's page on LifeLessonsOverLunch.com and you will receive access to this page.
You will then develop an action plan for launching Life Lessons at your church. You will be assisted in this process by our staff.
5. Follow-Up
As your Life Lessons groups begin to launch, North Point staff will follow up with you to answer questions and help you navigate implementation.
