Stop Buying What You Can Borrow

Share equipment, space, and materials across your association

Your association owns thousands of dollars in tables, sound systems, vans, and ministry materials. Most sit unused 90% of the time. HUB432 helps churches share what they have and find what they need — saving money and building relationships.

Churches sharing vehicles and resources — saving money and building relationships

The Duplication Problem

Church A buys a trailer for $4,000, uses it twice a year. Church B needs a trailer, doesn't know Church A has one. Church C just sold their old projector that Church D desperately needs. Resources exist — but nobody knows where.

A Marketplace for Ministry Resources

Every church inventories what they have. Mark items as available to share. Other churches browse, request, borrow. Return when done. Everyone saves money, reduces waste, and cooperates naturally.

Two Powerful Tools Working Together

Church Inventory Management

Complete Asset Tracking

Know exactly what your church owns and where it is.

  • Inventory everything your church owns

  • Check-out/check-in for internal use

Financial Stewardship

Make informed decisions about your assets.

  • Total asset value reports
  • Depreciation tracking
  • Replacement planning
  • Insurance documentation

Real-World Scenarios

Church Plant Needs Everything

"New church plant needs 50 chairs, sound system, and kids' ministry supplies. Browse HUB432, find churches willing to loan chairs, another renting sound equipment, and a third giving away old curriculum. Total savings: $3,000+."

Summer Camp Transportation

"Youth group needs a van for camp week. Church across town has a 15-passenger van sitting unused. Request it, get approved, pick it up, return it after camp. No rental fee. Relationship built."

Asset Stewardship

"Church discovers they have $75,000 in equipment sitting in storage. Create inventory, identify underutilized items, share them with other churches. Now those resources serve the kingdom instead of collecting dust."

For Individual Churches

Steward your resources better. Know what you own, track its condition, plan for replacement. Save money by borrowing instead of buying.

For the Association

Multiply ministry capacity. Reduce waste. Build cooperation through practical sharing. Especially powerful for helping small churches and church plants.

Secure asset management. Resources are shared only within your association.
