Finding a Facilitator | Founder's Table Network

What you're looking for in a facilitator.

It's really this simple: you're looking for an entrepreneur with a heart for God.

They don't need to be the perfect teacher, the most experienced at business, or the most active volunteer in your church. They need a humble heart for other business leaders and a commitment to the church.

Ideally, they'll be a listener (not a steamroller), a learner (not a know-it-all), and a servant-leader (not an order giver).

If you're ready to ask someone, use our email script to send them all the links they need to consider facilitation.

They should be an entrepreneur, business owner, or have a heart for entrepreneurs.*

We highly recommend a business owner or entrepreneur runs this group, as they'll understand the unique challenges of this lifestyle. However, a leader who is in our Pastoring Entrepreneurs track could also be a great choice if they have a heart to reach entrepreneurs over the long haul.
They should be relatively healed of any church hurt.

Often, entrepreneurs and business leaders carry pain from past church experiences. This leader needs to be ready to help others move ahead, not fuel pain that others may feel.
They should be ready to facilitate discussion.

Since they'll be given all the plug-and-play videos for every session, they don't need to be a good teacher. They just need to be great at asking questions and listening.

What do they have to do?

Go through facilitator training

This is a 4-part video series that can be done whenever the facilitator wants to go through them. In addition, they'll meet with our Onboarding Coach to ask questions, meet milestones, and release the grant money + materials. It's not a huge time commitment.

Plan a dinner (the kick-off event)

Our Onboarding Coach personally walks your facilitator through this process to make it as easy and pain-free as possible. (Remember, we're sending you a check to help cover this, and they might want to recruit a friend to help.)

Facilitate 8 small-group meetings

After the Founder's dinner, they'll facilitate an 8-week small group, either in person or online.

Be ready to embrace entrepreneurs

Throughout the experience, they'll become a crucial point-person in your church for helping entrepreneurs feel seen and valued.

Pass it on.

We know that finding a facilitator can feel overwhelming. And they have questions you really can't answer. Use these videos and links to pass them all the information they need. All you have to do is ask if they're willing to consider it.

WHO WE ARE

The Founder’s Table is Changing the Paradigm

We believe that God is on the move in the hearts of business owners. And we believe that our culture is at a tipping point moment with microenterprises (businesses with 0-10 employees) as God calls them to become the tip of the spear for the Gospel in every community and every church. The Founder’s Table Network is a curriculum that is integrated in the local church and designed to anchor the movemental force of entrepreneurs to your church.
