Church Partnerships
Support the Mission.
A Marked and Sent church partnership connects your congregation to a mission beyond the walls of your church.
By hosting a Mission Outpost in your lobby, you are equipping believers to carry the truth of Jesus Christ into everyday life.
The Mission Outpost
A witness tool, not a retail fixture.
The Mission Outpost is not a merchandise opportunity. It is a missional instrument designed to equip your congregation and reach the world around them.
Placed in your lobby or common area, the outpost is a contemporary wardrobe-style display, built to feel like part of your space rather than a store fixture. It presents a curated rotation of premium apparel featuring stylized Scripture verses, along with physical size samples so congregation members can find their fit with confidence before ordering.

Common Questions
Partnership Evaluation
Questions we hear most often from church leaders considering this program.
We answer them directly and without ambiguity.
The Mission Outpost requires a footprint of approximately 6' wide × 8' tall × 16" deep. It is designed to fit naturally in a lobby or common area without disrupting existing space.
Ideally yes, as proximity to an outlet allows us to add lighting to highlight the apparel on display. However, it is not a requirement, if your preferred location does not have one nearby, the display works well without it and we will work with whatever space is available.
No. The Mission Outpost is intentionally designed to avoid a retail appearance. It is a contemporary wardrobe-style display, built to feel at home in a church environment rather than a retail store. Scripture is central in both placement and presentation, and nothing about the design is intended to function as commercial signage or promotion.
No. The Mission Outpost, display, apparel samples, signage, setup, and ongoing support are all provided at no cost. There is no revenue share, no required promotion, and no long-term obligation. The only requirement is a small space in your lobby or common area.
No. This is not a revenue-sharing or fundraising program. The church is not involved in sales, transactions, or financial processing in any way. All ordering and fulfillment is handled directly through Marked and Sent.
This program is designed as a missional tool, not a financial one.
That is exactly the right step, and we fully expect it. We are happy to provide anything needed for that conversation, including a one-page overview, sample materials, or a direct discussion with your leadership team.
Engagement varies by congregation. Some members connect immediately, while others may never interact with it directly. Both outcomes are expected, and neither affects the value of the presence in your church.
We monitor engagement over time, and if the Mission Outpost is not serving your congregation well, we will remove it without requiring any administrative process from your team.
Yes. We refresh your Outpost monthly with new designs and apparel options. We treat the Mission Outpost as a living, managed presence rather than a static fixture.
Our shop website at MarkedAndSent.com will always offer a broader selection than what is physically displayed. Updates specific to your Mission Outpost can be requested and adjusted based on congregational needs.
Every verse is evaluated against a defined selection framework before it is used on any garment. Verses are not chosen for familiarity or aesthetic preference, but for their ability to create meaningful engagement with Scripture and support Gospel conversations.
The World English Bible Updated, U.S.A. Edition (WEBU). It is a modern English translation of the Bible derived primarily from the 1901 American Standard Version (ASV), with updates to modern English and consultation of Hebrew and Greek source texts during revision work. The translation project was completed around 2020. The WEB is released into the public domain, allowing it to be freely copied, shared, published, and distributed without copyright licensing requirements.

Yes. Churches may request specific verses for consideration. All requests are evaluated against the same selection framework used for every garment. If a verse meets the criteria, we will design and produce it for your church.
For planned sermon series, we can also align designs in advance where appropriate.
Yes. Custom orders are available for churches in the Mission Outpost program.
We work with a range of apparel options to fit different budgets, and these are produced without Marked and Sent branding since they are quoted and made specifically for your event. This includes embroidery for items that call for something more elevated, such as leadership gifts or your church's logo on hats, polos, hoodies, jackets, or bags and totes for staff and volunteers. We can also create custom artwork if needed.
Contact us about your special needs and we will prepare options for you to review.
Yes. Apparel is available through markedandsent.com. However, we do not actively market or promote outside of church partnerships or Christian-based organizations. The Mission Outpost is the primary expression of the brand and the center of our mission.
