What MBS Solutions does

MBS Solutions (legal name: Mission Based Sustainable Solutions) is a privately held consulting firm headquartered in Lakeside, Montana, that serves churches and religious ministries across the United States. Founded around 2018, the firm advises ministries on converting underutilized church facilities into financially sustainable operations by embedding for-profit business models—hotels, childcare centers, and mixed-use retail—directly into church-owned properties. The company's stated premise is that U.S. churches invest only about 0.3% of their budgets toward mission, with the balance absorbed by facilities and overhead.

The firm delivers a vertically integrated professional services stack organized into four service lines: Sustainable Ministry coaching, Project Feasibility studies, Professional Management introductions, and the Momentum Stewardship Campaign. Project Feasibility comprises property analysis, in-depth market demographics, ministry surveys, comprehensive financial reviews, and development recommendations. The Momentum Campaign is built from five sub-components: a Ministry Expansion Study (MES), the Generosity Initiative planned giving program (delivered through partner GA Repple & Company), a three-session Momentum Weekend stewardship workshop, Vision Video production (with named videographer Josiah Burdock), and a six-week "Hearing from God" Capital Campaign devotional. Underlying technology is non-software: services are delivered as customized consulting engagements rather than as a platform or product.

MBS Solutions monetizes entirely through professional services, with fees custom-quoted based on church size, project scope, and need; no public pricing exists. Customer acquisition is relationship-driven, combining direct outreach to senior pastoral leadership with referral partnerships inside the ministry ecosystem. The firm operates within a curated network of channel and financial partners—Learning Care Group (second-largest for-profit childcare provider in North America with 900 locations), MBE Hospitality Management, Retail Strategies and Retail Specialist, and GA Repple & Company (serving 25,000+ clients across all 50 states)—and connects church clients to more than 100 traditional and non-traditional commercial lenders.
