Talk with our team
It begins with a shared vision
A heart for children.
A place to begin.
Every church has its own community, calling, and way of considering a new ministry. We want to understand yours and help you make an informed decision about a preschool on your church campus.
Our experience has shown us that a shared vision and passion for children’s ministry are among the strongest foundations for a partnership. When that vision is present, it gives us a meaningful starting point for working through practical challenges together.
As you explore the opportunity, our team will share information and answer your questions. We also take time to consider whether the partnership is a good fit for Great Beginnings and for your church.
Looking at the whole picture
The possibilities.
The practical questions.
Our leadership team uses a SWOT analysis: a review of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. We consider these areas for both Great Beginnings and the church exploring a partnership.
Weaknesses
Areas that need attention or support as we consider how a preschool ministry could work together.
Opportunities
Ways a partnership could serve children, support families, and extend the church’s ministry into the week.
Threats
Challenges or risks that could affect the partnership and need thoughtful consideration before moving forward.
Prayer at the center
Thoughtful questions.
Prayerful decisions.
Practical evaluation matters. Throughout the process, we also rely on prayer and the counsel of godly people within and outside our organization.
We value the opportunity to consider a partnership with your church. A conversation gives us a place to hear your vision, discuss your questions, and explore the possibilities together.
The next page in this guide covers preschool facility requirements, so your church can begin considering the spaces involved.
