MINISTRY PARTNERSHIPS
Extend Your Church's Reach. Strengthen Family Faith.
Partner with Faith Goes With Us to bring faith into everyday family life while building meaningful connections between families and local churches.
A Partnership That Extends Beyond Sunday
Churches can support families between Sundays without having to build a complete digital curriculum, print program, and family engagement platform from the ground up.
FGWU supplies the resources and systems. Local congregations provide the invitations, personal relationships, and opportunities to belong.
More Than Curriculum. A Complete Family Ministry Solution.
Faith Goes With Us doesn’t simply provide Bible lessons and Journey Kits. We equip churches with the curriculum, resources, ministry management tools, and promotional support needed to launch, operate, and sustain a meaningful family ministry.
From weekly lessons and hands-on activities to family registrations, coordinator tools, ready-to-use communications, and promotional graphics, our ministry partnership helps churches spend less time building programs from scratch and more time connecting with families.
Family Faith Ministry—With or Without Sunday School
Not every congregation has the volunteers, staffing, or resources to maintain a traditional Sunday school program. And even churches with established programs may struggle to reach families whose schedules make regular attendance difficult.
Faith Goes With Us provides a flexible, year-round approach to family faith formation that churches can offer alongside existing ministries or as an alternative when Sunday school isn’t available.
With weekly Scripture-centered experiences, age-appropriate Journey Kits, coordinator tools, and ready-to-use family engagement resources, churches can support meaningful faith development without having to build an entire program from scratch.
Whether your church has a thriving Sunday school, a limited program, or no Sunday school at all, Faith Goes With Us helps you stay connected with families beyond Sunday mornings.
What Your Church Receives
Faith Goes With Us provides the resources, technology, and ongoing support your church needs to extend family faith development beyond Sunday — without building an entire program from scratch.
Every annual ministry partnership includes access to the same FGWU curriculum, coordinator tools, family engagement resources, and implementation support. Churches selecting Journey Kit packages also receive quarterly physical materials for their participating households.
52 weekly at-home faith experiences featuring short video lessons, scripture-based learning, family conversations, prayer, and practical “Live It” challenges.
Age-appropriate curriculum for children and youth ages 4–7, 8–11, 12–14, and 15–18.
Journey Kit Materials (When Included). Quarterly printed materials are provided according to the church’s selected partnership package, with age-appropriate resources for eligible children within each participating household at no additional charge to the church.
- Family enrollment and registration tools to help manage participating households.
- Church Directory Visibility. Your congregation appears in the FGWU participating church directory, helping nearby families discover your church, learn about your ministry, and find opportunities to connect with your faith community.
Family Events & Community Outreach. Promote family-friendly gatherings, ministry activities, and community events through FGWU’s online event listings. Nearby families can discover opportunities to participate and connect with your congregation, whether or not your church distributes Journey Kits.
A church coordinator dashboard for organizing families, Journey Kit distribution, and ministry activities.
- Ministry Resources & Promotion. Access to a growing library of ready-to-use communication and family engagement materials, including sample social media posts, church bulletin announcements, promotional graphics, monthly ministry tips, and practical ideas for connecting with families. These resources help congregations introduce FGWU, encourage participation, and maintain meaningful relationships without requiring coordinators to develop their own promotional materials or outreach plans.
- Implementation & Onboarding Support. Step-by-step coordinator guidance, dashboard instructions, and ongoing assistance help participating churches confidently launch and manage the ministry, whether their coordinator is a staff member or volunteer.
- Event coordination tools to support family gatherings, special activities, and kit pickup.
Your church receives a structured, year-round family faith program while remaining free to focus on what matters most: building relationships with families.
Your Church’s Commitment
A successful partnership requires more than purchasing a ministry license. It requires a commitment to the families your church serves.
Faith Goes With Us provides the curriculum, resources, and systems. Your church provides the personal relationships that help families feel connected, supported, and welcomed.
We ask participating churches to:
Designate a Ministry Coordinator. Identify a staff member or volunteer who will serve as the primary FGWU contact, assist families, and coordinate ministry activities.
Stay Connected With Families. Make reasonable, ongoing efforts to communicate with participating households, encourage weekly lessons, and invite families into church activities. FGWU provides ready-to-use messages, promotional materials, and engagement ideas to support these efforts.
Host at Least One Family Gathering Each Quarter. Every participating church commits to hosting at least one family-focused gathering, activity, or service opportunity each quarter. Events should create meaningful opportunities for families to connect with the congregation and one another. Churches may use FGWU’s event management and promotional tools to organize and share these opportunities.
Coordinate Journey Kit Distribution (When Applicable). Churches with Journey Kit packages arrange convenient pickup opportunities and help ensure families receive their quarterly materials. Access-only partners may begin offering kit distribution whenever they are ready to purchase kits.
Invite Families Into Church Life. Encourage participation in worship, children’s and youth ministries, service projects, and other activities without placing unnecessary pressure on families.
Complete a Quarterly Ministry Plan. Every participating church, regardless of partnership level, must complete and maintain a quarterly ministry plan through the FGWU Coordinator Dashboard. This plan identifies opportunities for family engagement, including planned events, gatherings, and community activities.
FGWU extends the ministry. Your congregation builds the relationships.
Annual Church Ministry Partnerships
Faith Goes With Us is designed to make meaningful family ministry accessible to churches of every size and budget.
Every annual partnership includes the same curriculum, coordinator dashboard, family engagement tools, church directory visibility, event promotion resources, and implementation support.
Churches choose their partnership level based on the number of households they wish to equip with quarterly Journey Kits—not the size of their congregation.
| Level | Annual | Kits/Qtr |
|---|---|---|
| Ministry Access | $549 | Digital access; no kits |
| Small Church | $899 | 5 per quarter |
| Small–Medium | $1,299 | 10 per quarter |
| Growing Ministry | $2,499 | 25 per quarter |
| Large Ministry | $4,499 | 50 per quarter |
One annual payment. No monthly billing.
Journey Kit Distribution: Packages include the stated number of household Journey Kits each quarter. Age-appropriate materials are provided for participating children within each household, at no additional charge to the church.
Shipping: Quarterly shipping is included with packages providing 10 or more Journey Kits per quarter. Small Church partners pay shipping separately.
Additional Kits: Churches may purchase additional Journey Kits in quantities of 1–50 as needed, subject to availability. Additional purchases and shipping are billed separately.
Access-Only Partnerships: Churches selecting Ministry Access can still appear in the participating church directory, promote family-focused events, use the full ministry resource library, and connect with families. Journey Kit pickup becomes available when kits are purchased and allocated.
Our goal is to help churches build lasting relationships with families—not simply distribute materials.
Conference Sponsorships: Helping More Congregations Participate
Church conferences, districts, and faith-based organizations can expand family ministry opportunities by sponsoring Faith Goes With Us annual partnerships for participating congregations—especially smaller churches that may not have the resources to establish a family ministry independently.
Each sponsored church receives full access to FGWU’s weekly curriculum, coordinator dashboard, family engagement resources, church directory, event promotion tools, and implementation support.
Sponsoring organizations can choose the level of Journey Kit distribution that best fits each congregation’s needs and budget.
Illustrative Annual Sponsorship Opportunities
| Level | Annual | Kits/Qtr. |
|---|---|---|
| 5 Ministry Access churches | $2,745 | Digital ministry access |
| 5 Small Churches | $4,495 | 25 families |
| 5 Small–Medium Churches | $6,495 | 50 families |
| 5 Growing Ministries | $12,495 | 125 families |
Conference sponsorships may also combine different partnership levels to accommodate churches with varying ministry needs.
The opportunity goes beyond providing materials. Sponsored congregations become part of a network that helps families discover local churches, participate in community activities, and develop lasting faith connections.
Each congregation remains responsible for designating a coordinator, completing quarterly ministry plans, hosting at least one family-focused gathering each quarter, and maintaining meaningful connections with participating families.
Together, we can help more churches reach families beyond Sunday mornings—without placing the full financial burden on individual congregations.
Example: Five-Church Sponsorship
A conference sponsoring five Small Church partnerships at $899 each would invest $4,495 annually, equipping five congregations with full ministry access and quarterly Journey Kits for 25 households collectively.
Participating churches remain responsible for building local family relationships, coordinating ministry activities, hosting quarterly gatherings, and distributing their Journey Kits.
Sponsorship arrangements can be tailored to the number of participating churches, anticipated Journey Kit needs, and the sponsoring organization’s ministry goals.
