A Note from Connor Hillard, CEO
At Pinnacle Forum, we’re intentional with our words because words, like actions, shape culture. That’s why we call the leaders who stand with us Partners, not members. Membership is something you pay for to gain access, similar to a gym, a club, or a golf course. Members enjoy the perks, and when something isn’t quite right, they complain: “The drapes don’t match the furniture,” or “The greens aren’t in good shape this season.” Membership is transactional. It’s about what you get. Partnership, on the other hand, is transformational. A Partner sees what could be and commits to help make it happen. A Partner doesn’t stand on the sidelines. They shoulder the plow. They invest in the mission, the movement, and the people alongside them. Our Partners support Pinnacle Forum at $125 a month, not because they pay to belong, but because they choose to invest in what God is doing through this ministry. That $125 isn’t a fee for services rendered. It’s a stake in the ground that says: “I want to see more leaders connected, transformed, and unleashed for Kingdom impact.”
“Partners invest in the mission, the movement, and the people alongside them.”
Our Partners know that while facilitation, tools, and resources matter, the true experience of Pinnacle Forum is the relationships. Forums are built on trust, vulnerability, accountability, and encouragement. Partners don’t just show up for themselves; they show up for one another. That’s why we don’t invite people to join Pinnacle Forum like they’d join a country club. We invite them to own the mission with us. To put skin in the game. To link arms with other leaders who say: “I’m not content to watch the culture drift. I want to be part of shaping it for Christ. And I know that begins by first seeing leaders transformed in Christ.”
“Partners don’t just show up for themselves; they show up for one another.”
So yes — members complain about the drapes. Partners build the house.
Members worry about the greens. Partners tend the garden.
Members pay only for their benefit. Partners plant seeds for a harvest they may never fully see, but they believe in it anyway.
When you commit as a Partner, you’re stepping into something far bigger than yourself. You’re stepping into a movement, and you’re helping it grow.
And that’s why we’ll always call you Partner. Because that’s exactly what you are.
