We’re often asked, “what’s the benefit of being a Pinnacle Forum Partner?”  The greatest “benefit” is what happens to each of us! — the personal transformation that comes through active participation in a Forum and Pinnacle Forum events.

As God transforms us from the inside out He conforms us to the image of Christ. It is through this transformation (theologians call it “sanctification”) that we find the joy, peace and abundant life Jesus promised us – the greatest “benefit” of all.  It’s this transformation we strive for through our Forums.

Our Forum experience also offers the immeasurable benefit of entering into and nurturing deep, confidential and authentic relationships with other Christian leaders.  As we invest in each others’ lives we experience the promise of community that is our rightful inheritance in Christ but which too many Christian leaders do not realize or enjoy.

Through Pinnacle Forum, influential leaders have the opportunity to grow in, model and proclaim the transformative message of Jesus, “I did not come to be served but to serve.”  In other words, to move beyond earthly success to eternal significance.

Because we were created to express the image of Christ in love to others, we then find fulfillment in the discovery and execution of our unique calling to be salt and light in our culture.  This is the second significant benefit of Pinnacle Forum – helping you discover and execute God’s purpose to which you were called.  As Frederick Buechner writes, “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”

Buechner’s observation is that there is deep satisfaction, exhilaration, even delight in discovering and acting upon what God created you to do.  Our Forums and Four “E” Strategy will help you discover what that “deep gladness” is, what you were uniquely created to do to advance God’s kingdom, and how you can execute this to move beyond earthly success to eternal significance.

The third Partner benefit is the opportunity to help plant and cultivate Pinnacle Forum Chapters and Forums across the country.  Pinnacle Forum is a national movement with a national footprint, in obedience to the Great Commission command to make disciples of all nations.

You help us reach others with your time, talents and financial resources. In doing so each of us becomes empowered by being part of a move of God to fulfill the Great Commission that is bigger than ourselves.

Pinnacle Forum then provides you practical benefits to assist you in realizing the benefits of personal and cultural transformation described above.  These include:
