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)<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

\"\"With this in mind, we are proud to share Partners in Faith: Doing God\u2019s Work Together<\/a>, <\/strong>a collection of best practices concerning today\u2019s 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<\/a> and New Church Ministry<\/a>\u2019s various services, tips and tricks to help ministries across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico thrive, and lessons on how a faith community\u2019s primary assets\u2014its people, property, and finances\u2014can be leveraged more fully into creating God\u2019s kin-dom right here on Earth.<\/p>\n

It is intended to pique readers\u2019 interest and, once it does, motivate them to reach out<\/a> to their regional Building and Capital Services Advisor to have a deeper conversation about ministry, property, and financial services.<\/p>\n

It is our prayer that something within this book\u2019s 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\u2019s no need to walk that road all alone. We pray that you allow our team to come alongside you in the spirit of koinonia<\/em> to create a divinely fruitful partnership.<\/p>\n

Happy reading!<\/p>\n
