WP 8 | How to Create a Partnership with Churches

Creating a partnership with a church can be a great way for a private practice to grow and sustain its business. In episode eight of the Wise Practice Podcast, Whitney Owens shares some tips on how to effectively create and maintain these partnerships.

"It is important to approach these conversations with a spirit of collaboration and mutual benefit, rather than simply trying to sell your services to the church."

One of the first steps in creating a partnership with a church is to establish referral relationships with local churches. This can involve speaking with pastors and discussing the services that your practice offers and how they can be of benefit to the church and its members. It is important to approach these conversations with a spirit of collaboration and mutual benefit, rather than simply trying to sell your services to the church.

Once you have established a referral relationship with a church, there are several ways that you can partner with them more formally. One way is to offer church packages that the church can purchase. These packages could include things like counseling services, workshops, or other resources that your practice offers. By offering these packages, you can provide the church with the support and resources they need while also generating income for your practice.

Another way to partner with a church is by offering to be a counselor for the church, even if it is not a full-time position. This can be especially beneficial for churches that don't have the finances to hire a full-time counselor. By offering your services to the church, you can help them provide support and resources to their members while also building your practice.

When first establishing these partnerships, it is important to start with lower rates in order to make them more attractive to churches. As your practice grows and you gain more experience and expertise, you can gradually increase your rates.

"It is also important to find a method of partnering with churches that works for you and your practice. This may involve experimenting with different approaches and seeing what works best for your unique situation."
