Leadership transition IBSA recently announced leadership changes including retirement of the Administrative Director for Operations and promotion within the team, with a new executive director taking the role in 2006. This signals potential openness to new partnerships, technology upgrades, and process improvements during a period of organizational realignment.

Growth opportunities With nearly 1,000 affiliated churches but a small central staff (11-50 employees) and revenue under $1M, there is likely appetite for scalable, cost-effective services that support church planting, church health, and regional collaboration without large enterprise-level contracts.

Technology use The tech stack includes engagement and security tools such as Hotjar, reCAPTCHA, and event management platforms, indicating readiness for digital engagement enhancements, website optimization, and secure event/communication solutions that can be offered to streamline operations.

Partnership potential Historical ERLC partnership interest and ongoing collaboration around abortion alternatives highlight a willingness to engage with national ethics partners. This suggests opportunities for faith-aligned services, training, and policy resources that align with their mission and values.

Strategic focus A dedicated Church Planting Director and a mission-focused mandate imply opportunities to offer church growth consulting, training, newsletter/communication platforms, fundraising software, and leadership development programs tailored to mid-sized, regionally connected religious organizations.
