3. PLUG IN
"I went ahead and registered for a meeting knowing very little about Amplify. I showed up at the event and when the ministry Director, Jessica Bartholomew from A.C.T. United gave her presentation, the light bulb came on. I was there for a purpose. Jessica was struggling with a publishing proposal. I had just sold my book publishing and distribution company after 25 years and was seeking new ways of networking and utilizing my knowledge. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way and experience the broad reaching impact Amplify has.”

The AMP Session is a one hour small group meeting that allows interested partners to go deeper with the presenting ministry in the week following their presentation at a bi-monthly meeting. Spend one hour in consultation with our presenting ministry and meet additional Amplify Partners. Together, you’ll review the feedback summary gathered at the Amplify meeting and support the ministry identifying next steps in addressing their strategic “ask.”
Amplify Mission Network staff, in consultation with our Board of Directors, selects presenting ministries. To be considered as potential presenters, organizations must first meet the following criteria:
- Be a faith-based organization
- Operate as a 501(c)(3) or SB Corp
- Be based in Minnesota
- Represent an emerging nonprofit ministry or have a new initiative to present
- Capable of articulating a clear challenge or opportunity to which Amplify business partners can contribute their time, talents or connections – financial “asks” are not allowed.
Interested ministries should complete our ministry intake form.
