FRANCHISE MINISTRY
THE FRANCHISE APPROACH TO MINISTRY
There are two entities when working with the franchise model of corporate America: the franchiser and the franchisee. The franchiser has a product or service to sell and has the infrastructure to maintain and service its growth. The franchisee is typically an entrepreneur who has an affinity and desire to market the products or services.
The franchise approach to ministry is a partnership designed to impact the Kingdom of God by equipping the saints to do works of service for those who are incarcerated. PFC is a sharing ministry, meaning all that we are and all that we have are gifts from God to be released back into the church community.
Therefore, it is our hearts’ desire to empower men and women through partnership and collaboration who have a desire to be used of God in the jails, prisons, and juvenile institutions across this country. One great thing about becoming a franchisee with PFC is that there are no franchise fees!
