What antioch capital partners does

Antioch Partners is a founder-led coaching and consulting firm that provides strategic guidance, leadership coaching, and practical implementation support to U.S. church planters and pre-launch or early-stage churches. Founded and operated by Aaron Nebrija — a pastor, church planter, and ministry leader with 20 years of vocational ministry experience who serves as Lead Pastor of City Life Church in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and is currently leading the planting of City Life Park Circle — the firm serves individuals and small teams carrying responsibility for vision, fundraising, leadership development, systems, communications, and the spiritual health of a church plant. Services are organized as a five-tier partnership ladder: a free 30-minute Clarity Call, a one-time Clarity Partner session at $195, and four monthly subscription tiers ranging from Coaching Partner at $450 per month to Church Plant Partner at $1,950 per month, each building incrementally on the prior tier's scope.\n\nThe offering is human-capital based. There is no proprietary software platform, API, or technical infrastructure; service delivery relies on the founder's coaching, strategic planning, written action plans, document review, and ad hoc implementation support, conducted primarily virtually via video calls and email, with in-person work available by separate arrangement. The firm is privately held and founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investment, and operates with a headcount of 1–10.\n\nThe go-to-market motion is consultative and sales-led: prospective clients complete an online inquiry form, select a partnership level, begin with a complimentary fit conversation or Clarity Call, and then move into a paid engagement. Monthly subscriptions carry a three-month initial commitment and are invoiced in advance. The customer base is concentrated in a single niche vertical — church planters and early-stage church leadership — and acquisition channels are limited to the firm's own website content, email inquiries, and word-of-mouth within the church-planting community.
