What is partnership?
Partnership is our commitment to each other to actively work together to further our mission as North Platte Berean Church. Are you passionate about leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ? Do you consider NPBC to be your church home? Then partnership is for you!

The process – 5 simple steps to joining NPBC as a partner
Step 1. Getting to know each other’s stories: Begin connecting with others at NPBC.
Step 2. Learning about partnership: Attend a Partnership Exploration to go over the details of partnership. (Preview of the material: web, printable.)
Step 3. Demonstrating the partnership commitments: Demonstrate the partnership commitments and submit the Ministry Partner Commitment form (online, printable) to the office.
Step 4. Recommendation from Grow Group leader: Ask your Grow Group leader to submit a recommendation (online**, printable) to the office. (Remember to fill out your part for them first.)
Step 5. Affirmation from elders: Elders meet with you to finalize the recommendation. Upon approval, we will send you an official notification of partnership.**
** Note that, for your leader to submit the recommendation online, you will first need to contact them with the following:
- Share briefly about your spiritual journey. What do you believe about Jesus Christ?
- Please tell us about your baptism. When were you baptized, and why did you decide to do that? (Or, please share why you haven't yet decided to be baptized.)
