The HolyGrounds.Coffee.House Model

A Replicable Framework for Bivocational Church Planting and Sustainable Ministry.

Financial Commitment & Training

Model Franchise / Initial Investment
McDonald's Franchisee $1.5 Million – $2.7 Million
Chick-fil-A Operator $10,000
HolyGrounds Church Plant $5,000 (One-time, Refundable)

The $5,000 Investment is our low barrier to entry, directly comparable to the $10,000 approximate initial investment for a Chick-fil-A Operator. We believe that God will provide the rest of the substantial investment needed to launch your physical location.

This fee covers:

A Calling from God (Ordination & Refund)

This opportunity is exclusively reserved for men who feel called by God to be a pastor. Formal ordination is not required to begin training, as we are associated with #BibleTeach Church in Wichita, Kansas.

Upon completion of training, if the franchisee feels it is no longer their calling, we will gladly refund the full $5,000. If it remains their calling, we will have the honor of ordaining them as a pastor to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in this unique way.

Legal and Mission Rationale (L3C & Tithing)

Our model is structured to legally support a ministry-first mission, necessitating two separate entities (Coffee House and Church Plant).

Key factors that secure our status and mission are:

  • Our commitment to tithe 10% of gross revenue (not net profit) defines our L3C's mission.
  • The L3C status and mission grants us the necessary religious exemption (BFOQ), allowing us to legally require our employees to be Christians, ensuring total mission alignment.
