Overview

This chapter showcases diverse ministry models from successful nonprofits that generously shared their program blueprints and business plans for the benefit of the broader community. The primary goal is to support horizontal scaling by disseminating best practices and unique strategies, often referred to as the "secret sauce," employed by these programs. By sharing this valuable information, new ministries seeking to embark on similar work can accelerate their effectiveness, resulting in a more significant and immediate impact. The first few sets of blueprints are available. If your nonprofit is interested in contributing its ministry model and business plans to this collective resource, please let us know. Your insights would be highly valued, and we aim to incorporate them into this valuable repository.

Dr. Kevin Boettcher

Kevin Boettcher recently retired from a technology-based career that included system engineering roles in major aerospace firms, and business and organization development roles at a family owned tax technology firm. Along the way he served as Board Chair for Wheat Ridge Ministries, now WeRaise Foundation. More recently, for WeRaise he had the opportunity to conduct a study on the possibility of replicating successful We Raise funded ministries. This involved the development of a blueprint for the ministry that captured essential process and structural elements along with lessons learned, such that another leader could launch a similar ministry in another location. Dr. Boettcher makes his home outside of Philadelphia and is now active in helping leaders in organization development and coaching contexts.
