To be paired with a KCN Mentor or receive a loan, business owners must participate fully in the Formation Cohort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why small businesses?
We believe the ministry of the church extends beyond Sunday to all seven days of the week. One of the reasons we started this program for small businesses owners was because these individuals are uniquely positioned to create impactful ripple effects in their communities for the Kingdom of God. Historically, business owners have been viewed as “financial donors for the Gospel,” but not necessarily as on-mission “ministers of the Gospel.” On any given week, a business owner is typically meeting with customers, employees, community members, etc. They’re going beyond a traditional 40-hour work week to create something that extends beyond themselves, and their day-to-day rhythms naturally lend themselves to ministering and caring for others. What better way than to equip, empower, & train these individuals than to show that God cares about their work, and that He is actively involved in growing their businesses! If there were an individual in our congregation who poured countless hours into relationships each week and had the ability to influence and speak into other’s lives, while sharing the good news of Christ, and showing how that good news impacts their communities directly, what types of resources would we, as the Church, give them to help them in their ministry? That is how we view our business owners. That is why Kingdom Capital Network exists.
What should I expect as part of the cohort of small business owners & business mentorship?
We provide curriculum in a 9-month class format with monthly meetings focused on redemptive work & collaboration with other entrepreneurs. The business mentorship is a 1-on-1 format, as another component of the cohort, and the schedule is worked out between the business owner and mentor.
Can I access Business Mentorship without participating in the Formation Cohort?
No. As part of our desire to build intentional relationships within KCN, we pair business owners with mentors as part of the Formation Cohort process. Our Business Mentors offer business expertise and support, as well as space to further process and pray about the curriculum we cover in our Formation Cohort.
What if I haven't yet set up my LLC, and/or my business is less than 2 years old?
You may contact our community partners at EGBI who are able to assist with startups free of cost! Visit https://egbi.org/coach/ to learn more. In order to apply for a loan, our partners require 2 years of business tax history (separate from your individual taxes) under an LLC. However, we still encourage you to fill out our form above. We'd love to have a conversation to see how we can support you and your business!
