For more than 140 years, our mission has been to accompany congregations, regions, camps, seminaries, and other communities of faith in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) as they work to ensure that their places of worship can truly be part of a movement for wholeness that our world so desperately needs.
With this in mind, we are proud to share Partners in Faith: Doing God’s Work Together, a collection of best practices concerning today’s most relevant ministry topics. They have been carefully studied, researched, and implemented by members of our dedicated staff, who have visited hundreds of churches and engaged thousands with ways to build, grow, reinvent, and shape ministry. This publication includes detailed information about Disciples Church Extension Fund and New Church Ministry’s various services, tips and tricks to help ministries across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico thrive, and lessons on how a faith community’s primary assets—its people, property, and finances—can be leveraged more fully into creating God’s kin-dom right here on Earth.
It is intended to pique readers’ interest and, once it does, motivate them to reach out to their regional Building and Capital Services Advisor to have a deeper conversation about ministry, property, and financial services.
It is our prayer that something within this book’s pages ignites your vision for ministry or affirms what God has been calling you to be or do all along. Either way, we hope that this offering gives you the courage to move forward. There’s no need to walk that road all alone. We pray that you allow our team to come alongside you in the spirit of koinonia to create a divinely fruitful partnership.
Happy reading!
