What does it mean to sponsor a church?

It means helping cover the cost of tools and support for a congregation that cannot yet afford them, so that money is not the reason a church cannot reach and serve its people. It can be quiet or relational, as both sides prefer.

Where does the support actually go?

To a real church with a real need, with that church's knowledge and consent. The vision is for it to be transparent and dignified, never treating a congregation as a nameless case for someone else's marketing.

How many churches have been sponsored so far?

We will not invent a number. This is an invitation, not a funded campaign with results to advertise. If you choose to sponsor, you help write the first of that story, and we will keep it honest.

Sponsor a Church

Some congregations serve faithfully with almost nothing. This is an invitation to sponsor a church: to quietly cover the cost of tools and support for a congregation that cannot yet afford them, so that lack of money is never the reason a church cannot reach its people. It is a vision offered in honesty, and it becomes real only when someone chooses to give.

The vision

“But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want”

2 Corinthians 8:14

“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”

Galatians 6:2

We picture individuals, churches, or foundations sponsoring a congregation that is rich in faith and short on resources, so it can have the same tools as anyone else. Sponsorship could cover costs, support a season of growth, or simply make sure a small church is not left behind because of its budget. The aim is equality in the body, one member’s abundance supplying another’s want.

How it could work

A sponsor tells us they would like to help carry a church, and roughly what they can do.
We identify a real need, with the church’s knowledge and consent, never as a nameless statistic.
The support goes where it is meant to, transparently, and the relationship can be as close or as quiet as both wish.

An honest word

We will not dress this up with a running total of churches funded or dollars raised. There is no such ledger to boast about yet. What there is, is a real need in the wider church and a real way for you to meet it if you choose.

How to begin

Reach out through the church path and say you would like to sponsor a church, or that your church could use a sponsor. We take both seriously.
