Barnabas Next: Cause-Based Solutions Communities

In Kansas City, the needs of those struggling are growing faster than the resources to help them. While many organizations are working hard, they often face challenges like isolation, limited funding, and a lack of coordination. That’s where Barnabas Next comes in. This new initiative from The Barnabas Group brings together ministries, churches, and businesses to create lasting, unified solutions to address the growing needs in our community.

Our Vision

At Barnabas Next, we’re not just focused on immediate needs—we want to drive long-term change. Through strategic partnerships, we’ll optimize resources, mobilize the community, and put best practices in place to transform Kansas City.

What is Barnabas Next?

Barnabas Next is a collaborative effort that unites churches, ministries, and businesses to tackle the most pressing challenges in Kansas City. By combining resources and expertise, we aim to create a meaningful and sustainable impact.

A Proven Model

One recent success story comes from the Bible translation community. Business leaders helped align efforts across ministries, reducing costs and speeding up timelines. We believe this collaborative, strategic approach can bring similar results to our local issues.

Benefits of Barnabas Next

By uniting local ministries, churches, and businesses, Barnabas Next can:

  • Increase community collaboration

  • Forge new partnerships

  • Create and implement best practices

  • Engage more volunteers

Together, we can build a stronger, more connected Kansas City.

The Solution: A Wholistic Approach

We follow a simple, three-step model:

  1. Analyze the Need - Use data to understand the root causes of community challenges and identify gaps in support.

  2. Connect & Align - Bring together key partners - ministries, business leaders, and churches - to collaborate on strategic solutions

  3. Optimize - Create a regional strategy, host summits, and establish a fund to ensure resources are used efficiently and effectively.
