Church Coffee That Gives Back: How the Church Partnership Fund Works
Every Sunday morning, long before the first worship song, somebody in your church is making coffee. It fills the lobby, warms the welcome, and gives people a reason to linger a little longer after the service ends.
At John 3:16 Coffee, we believe that cup can do even more. Through our Church Partnership Fund, 10% of every purchase goes back to your church — so the coffee your people already love can help fuel the mission they already believe in.
Here's how it works, and how your church can be part of it.
Fellowship Was Never an Afterthought
The early church understood the power of gathering around a table. Acts 2 tells us the first believers "broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts" — and the Lord added to their number daily. Fellowship wasn't a program. It was the soil where community grew.
Today, coffee carries much of that same weight. It's the conversation after the amen. It's the new family who stays because someone handed them a warm cup and asked their name. It's the men's group, the youth gathering, the Wednesday night Bible study.
We don't think that cup should be an afterthought — and we don't think it has to be just an expense, either.
What Is the Church Partnership Fund?
The Church Partnership Fund is simple: when your church partners with John 3:16 Coffee, 10% of every purchase goes back to your church.
No separate fundraiser to organize. No extra line in the budget to approve. The coffee you're already buying for Sunday mornings, Bible studies, and events starts giving back to the ministry it serves — support your church can put toward missions, outreach, benevolence, or wherever the need is greatest.
It is, quite literally, spreading the gospel one bean at a time.
How Churches Put the Give-Back to Work
Every church stewards it differently. Some direct it toward missions giving. Others use it for community outreach — the block party, the food pantry, the back-to-school drive. Some simply let it strengthen the hospitality ministry itself, freeing budget for other needs.
The point isn't the size of the check. It's that an everyday purchase — coffee you were going to buy anyway — now participates in the ministry it's served in.
Built for the Church Coffee Bar
Church coffee service is its own world — big mornings, volunteer teams, and brewers that have to keep up. Our coffee is built for it:
- Sunday Blend fraction packs — pre-measured 2.5 oz packs that drop straight into your commercial brewer. No grinding, no measuring, no guesswork for volunteers.
- Case pricing that rewards stocking up — a 32-pack case is $79 for 1–4 cases, $74 for 5–10 cases, and $69 for 11 or more.
- NET 30 terms for established churches, so coffee never has to wait on the offering plate.
- Bulk bags too — 12 oz, 2 lb, and 5 lb bags of our biblically themed blends for offices, cafés, and smaller gatherings.
And equipment? Our frac packs and bulk bags are made for the commercial brewers you already have — there's nothing new to install. If you do need equipment, we partner with Coffee & Tea Solutions, a local DFW equipment vendor (817-551-0822), who can help you get set up.
Real Churches, Real Fellowship
This isn't a theory — it's already happening here in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
Hillcrest Baptist Church in Cedar Hill was our first church partner, serving John 3:16 Coffee to their congregation month after month. And this month, we welcomed Freedom Church International in Waxahachie, whose first case of Sunday Blend is now fueling their Sunday fellowship.
Different churches, same heart: good coffee, warm community, and a purchase that points back to the mission.
More Than Coffee in the Cup
Every John 3:16 Coffee order carries the message with it. Our bags bear the words of John 3:16 — "For God so loved the world..." — and every order includes a devotional insert card, a small encouragement meant to be read, kept, and shared.
That means the coffee on your fellowship table is quietly doing what your church does every week: putting the gospel in people's hands.
