But how do you as a new church buy in volume?  Imagine getting connected with 10, 15, 20 or more other church planters to buy in volume.  Its that simple.  At Passion for Planting, we help connect church planters so that together they get lower prices than they can on their own.   Significant money can be saved particularly on equipment and marketing by "pooling" together with others.

There is no commitment to buy anything, simply the opportunity to save money with others.  Here is how it works:

1.  Contact - Simply call (866.342.5264) or email Pat (pat@church-planting.net) to have your name added to our "pooling" list.  Identify what you need and when you need it.

2.  Connect / Pool / Participate - Passion for Planting will serve as the "information exchange" for connecting planters together.  We will maintain a list of "pooling" opportunities on this web site (e.g. "NIV Bibles needed by Oct 1", "JBL speakers needed by Nov 1", etc.).  We will keep the contact list of interested parties and will provide the information to the interested parties within a month of the need date.

3.  Save - Group of interested planters "pool" together to place a larger order than they would purchase individually.  For example, one church may need 3 boxes of Bibles.  Another 2 boxes, another 5 boxes and another 10 boxes.  By pooling together and purchasing 20 boxes, each participating church will get a lower cost on their Bibles than they would get purchasing alone.  Likewise, one church ordering 10,000 direct mail post cards will pay more per card than 8 churches "pooling" together and each ordering 10,000 cards.  Passion for Planting can recommend preferred vendors who give volume discounts (planters are not required to use these vendors to participate in the "pooling" plan).
