MinistryResource is the nation's largest ministry procurement organization, partnering nationwide with over 40,000 ministries.
MinistryResource started in 1987 with a goal to provide faith-based organizations purchasing opportunities not found through standard channels.
Providing commercial-quality products at consumer-product price tags
has enabled us to help ministries be more successful in purchasing,
which furthers our mission.
We believe it is important to manage church dollars wisely,
and our focus and experience provide an expertise that guarantees
MinistryResource members are being good stewards when purchasing
with ministry funds.
MinistryResource tasks itself with a mission to serve. We have been called to provide quality resources (products, equipment, services) to our Christian brothers and sisters throughout the United States. We sell only commercial solutions to our ministry family, with warranties that convey the quality of the product(s). In addition to selling the products, goods, or services, we educate and train our customers, equipping them with knowledge that allows them to make better choices when purchasing. We refuse to oversell or undersell. We strive to meet the need fully. We work HARD to bring the best pricing available and provide savings that our ministry customers can take and invest back into their ministry and its mission. If you would like to know more about the heart of MinistryResource and our mission, please call any of our dedicated employees, and they will be happy to share more with you.
Our nation faces significant challenges, and the division we witness is disheartening for all. As believers, we bear the responsibility to share the good news, but we cannot impose it on others. It is crucial that we maintain our voice in the national conversation. Despite attempts to silence us, God will raise His champions, and we hope to be the vessels He uses.
We have seen direct assaults on our values, and now we are witnessing indirect attacks. Some organizations use their profits, gained from Christian spending, to promote agendas that oppose Christian principles. Amazon has been notably clear in its discrimination against Christian groups. In 2020, they ceased direct donations to organizations with Christian ties, including children's charities. In 2023, they ended the Smile program, which allowed customers to direct charitable donations.
Amazon’s agenda to suppress our beliefs is evident. As believers, we have never sought to silence other voices, only to have ours heard. Our demand is not to dictate where donations go but to allow freedom of choice in charitable giving and to ensure our values are represented.
Beyond profit, Amazon’s other agendas are becoming clear. They treat partners unethically, forcing them into near-criminal competition, resulting in poorer quality goods. Even reputable products suffer due to poor stock conditions or inferior shipping standards. Not every product can be shipped the same way.
Understanding Amazon’s subtle attack on Christian ethics requires a deeper strategy than what is currently employed by churches and Christian organizations. Often, church secretaries, lacking procurement experience, fall victim to exploitation. They understand “shopping” but not procurement—a skillset of Administrators and Executive Pastors earned and developed through education and experience.
Amazon is not the answer for Christian organizations, but it sometimes seems to be the only easy procurement solution.
Not anymore!
To support your ministry, we have partnered with ODP Business Solutions to create a new dedicated procurement portal that provides quality commercial products and goods that are unique to ministry organizations’ needs! It’s called The Ministry Program by ODP. This exclusive opportunity, crafted by Christian business leaders, ensures successful procurement while maintaining a voice for Christian organizations worldwide.
ODP Business Solutions commits to not suppressing ministry voices and provides next-day delivery for essential ministry products. Unlike Amazon, ODP continues to support Christian charities through The Ministry Program, allowing profits from Christian organizations to support Christian causes.
By committing our time and resources to this program, we guarantee quality products and ensure that your investment supports the future of Christian organizations. No other ODP program offers such significant discounts or such a strong promise. MinistryResource, as your advocate, has worked diligently to secure both the promise and the discounts!
We pledge our commitment to this initiative and stand by its purpose and benefits.
