The United Church of Christ Church Building & Loan Fund, through its Partners in Vision program, provides consulting services for board development and organizational capacity building to the Franklinton Center at Bricks. This presentation provides a description of CB&LF and a rationale for its work with FCAB.
The United Church of Christ Church Building & Loan Fund (CB&LF) is a nonprofit organization that has been assisting congregations with financing church buildings since 1853. It provides loans to younger congregations under 30 years old and renewing congregations of any age for purchasing land, building, renovating or refinancing church buildings. CB&LF has helped thousands of churches and has $58 million in loans with a $20 million lending capacity. It also offers capital campaign services and planning assistance to help churches with large real estate projects and vision plans.
This document summarizes a capital campaign being undertaken by the Norwalk First United Methodist Church from 2017-2020. The campaign has two main goals: raising $405,388 for urgently needed building repairs, and increasing the church endowment by $430,000 to prepare for future needs and maintain a stable financial base. Major repair projects include repairing roofs, windows, and stone walls. The campaign will involve church members sharing testimonials and celebrating its completion on March 12, 2017. It encourages various forms of pledges to be paid over three years to fund the repairs and grow the endowment.
The document discusses how the Church Building & Loan Fund (CB&LF) assists congregations in building, renovating or refinancing church buildings to further their missions. It emphasizes deploying assets for tangible mission impact, such as operating dynamic ministries. The CB&LF seeks to reinvent the concept of church through innovative uses of space and partnerships. It encourages congregations to align their missions with deploying all assets, including buildings, land, investments and relationships, for measurable social and spiritual impact.
The document is a presentation about the Diocesan Development Fund (DDF) given at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. It summarizes that the DDF supports ministries in the Diocese and that donations above the parish's $32,400 goal will be returned to benefit parish projects. It encourages families to donate $100 each or $2 per week to help meet the goal. The funds would be used to improve the parish facilities and religious education programs.
This sermon explores the growing isolationist tendency called cocooning, and calls upon believers to value and embrace Christian Community. The key text is Hebrews 10:23-25 in which we are exhorted not to "forsake the assembling together."
The document discusses Back to Church Sunday, an initiative on September 30, 2012 across Anglican churches to invite unchurched people to attend church services. It provides statistics showing that people are likely to return if invited multiple times. The primary goal is for each person to invite one other in order to change churches to become more invitational. Suggestions are given for clergy and parishes to encourage participation, including preaching about hospitality, forming a planning group, and developing invitational habits throughout the year.
The document summarizes several of Pope Francis' homilies and reflections during World Youth Day 2013 in Rio de Janeiro. It outlines situations facing youth like attraction to idols, exclusion, and injustice. The Pope challenges youth to be hopeful, open to God, live in joy, go out boldly, maintain strong faith in Jesus, carry the cross with compassion, and put on faith, hope and love.

This document discusses the importance of vision, mission, and money in church stewardship. It provides guidance on developing a vision statement, mission statement, and using those statements to evaluate current ministries and budgets to ensure resources are being used to further the church's mission. The document emphasizes regularly communicating the vision and mission to the congregation and using those statements to guide financial planning and fundraising efforts like the annual pledge drive.
The document outlines the framework for Catholic youth ministry presented in the 1997 publication "Renewing the Vision". It discusses shifts that have occurred in youth ministry approaches over time from a hierarchical model to a more collaborative one. The publication addresses three main goals of youth ministry: to empower young people to live as disciples, draw them into participation in the Catholic community, and foster their total personal and spiritual growth. It also outlines key themes and components of ministry discussed in the framework, including advocacy, catechesis, community life, and others.
2013 Our Lady of Charity "Charitans" Retreatpennpadre
This document outlines a retreat focused on engaging with scripture and discerning the signs of the times. It discusses how the church should scrutinize contemporary events and interpret them through the gospel. Participants are encouraged to reflect on where they see vitality and lack thereof in their own lives and in the church, and how to hold fast to what is good while seeking redemption in other areas. The retreat emphasizes that truly forming disciples requires more than bringing people back to mass - it involves a personal commitment to Christ and mission.
This document summarizes the results of a survey conducted by Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Raymore, Missouri as part of an "All In" campaign to understand members' needs and design their future ministry. Over 250 surveys were completed, with responses showing that members value fellowship, youth programs, and outreach. They prefer communication by email and want more small groups and Bible studies. The campaign engaged over 40 volunteers who made 1000 phone calls to members. Funds raised will help pay down the church's land mortgage of $27,000 annually.
This document outlines plans for empowerment and leadership development programs called Ecclesia I and Ecclesia II at Bethel Harvest Church. Ecclesia I and II will meet most Wednesdays to equip attendees through teaching, accountability groups, ministry experience, and retreat. The goal is to develop leaders and empower people for ministry and life through investing in personal growth, mentoring, and overcoming barriers. Volunteers are needed to staff various ministry areas as part of the program. Commitment includes a fee and fulfilling service requirements. The church aims to move quickly under God's direction by training and releasing leaders.
This document discusses the importance of making disciples who make disciples based on the models of Jesus and Paul. It notes that while many churches believe in and teach discipleship, few actually implement disciple-making processes like intentional relationships and accountability. The document cites examples of churches that grew when they shifted from a program-based to a relationship-based discipleship approach and created clear spiritual pathways expecting life transformation. It encourages pastors to invest in discipling relationships above all other activities.
The document discusses options for the future of St. Peter's, a church and community center in the city center. It notes that the original ecumenical and outreach vision is not fully realized currently. Three solutions are proposed: continuing separate church/center management, leasing to a third party, or a single management body. Feedback expressed concern over finances. A new proposed solution is a Development Trust to jointly govern the church and center, with a focus on faith, community, heritage, financial, and building development to better achieve the mission. The Trust would help St. Peter's nurture current activities and grow for the future.
The pastor of First Baptist Church introduces a capital campaign called "The Future @ First" to fund construction of a new family life center. Over 25 years, the church has recognized the need for more space for ministries and facilities to enable fellowship. The campaign will fund plans for a new building with space for AWANA, sports programs, offices, preschool, and events. Church members are asked to pray about how they can support the vision and future of the church through sacrificial giving.
This document is a newsletter from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church providing updates on upcoming events and recapping recent events. It discusses a recent congregational meeting where the financial status of the church was discussed, including a budget surplus projected for the upcoming year. It also discusses long-term maintenance projects for the church facilities totaling $600,000 and how funding these projects positions the church for future generations. The newsletter provides the monthly calendar of church events and meetings.
The document discusses the work of the LCMS Office of National Mission (ONM) in supporting church planting and congregational revitalization efforts. It describes how ONM has restructured to better serve districts and congregations. It also discusses the appointment of directors for church planting and revitalization to lead these efforts. The overall goal is to strengthen existing congregations and plant new ones to spread the gospel and increase vitality both within the LCMS and to more communities.
The Global Institute For Transformation (GIFT) aims to transform the world in the light of Christ by supporting Christian unity, creating new venues for outreach and discipleship, and addressing both spiritual and material needs domestically and globally. GIFT plans to do this through initiatives like curriculum building appreciation for God, health programs, fundraising innovations, and providing spiritual and community resources. The document outlines GIFT's vision and various programs and initiatives to accomplish its mission.
This document outlines Sale Street Baptist Church's ministry plan for 2022. The objective is to lead people closer to Jesus and empower disciple-makers. Key aspects of the plan include investing in existing ministries, campus upkeep, staff support, missions, and modeling discipleship through intentional community initiatives like "Shoulder to Shoulder" and hospitality nights. The church projects a budget of nearly $1 million but trusts that God will provide as they seek to train disciples and further His kingdom.
Dursley Tabernacle: the Parsonage Project youth centreLawrence Moore
The Tabernacle URC in Dursley opened a new youth centre called The Vibe in 2015 through a partnership with the local town council. The church had a vision to be more active in the community and help local youth. They appointed youth workers and redeveloped an old parsonage building into The Vibe with £100k from the church and £300k from the council. The youth centre has transformed community youth work in the town by providing space and programs run by Christian youth workers that reach many young people. The project succeeded through prayer, consultation, teamwork with new partners, focusing on community needs over church wants, and taking risks with faith.
This document discusses changes coming to Catholic youth ministry. It suggests that youth should minister alongside adults in the community and express their faith through meaningful roles. Quoting Kenda Creasy Dean, it notes that attending to adolescent faith could help renew the adult Church's identity. The overall message is that youth are the future of the Church and should be empowered to make a difference in the world through their parish communities.
Passion talk - Sacred Space Coworking - The Entrepreneurial Church ScriptBrandon Napoli
Brandon Napoli proposes a model called Sacred Spaces that brings together churches, entrepreneurs, and neighboring workers. The model converts underutilized church space into a coworking/incubator space that provides spiritual formation and business services. This creates a unique environment for collaboration and serendipity among pastoral staff, discipled entrepreneurs, and remote workers. The benefits include low costs, childcare, mentoring networks, and fulfilling the church's mission to make disciples. The goal is to help entrepreneurs and churches become more fruitful by addressing societal needs and moving communities toward "the way things are supposed to be."
Mount Olive Baptist Church is undertaking a "Sanctuary Beautification Project" from August to September 2010 to paint, remodel, refurbish, and enhance their sanctuary space. The $250,000 goal will be used to paint, remodel the pulpit, refurbish pews and furniture, install new flooring and carpet, enhance lighting, and refurbish windows and install blinds. Members are asked to make a $500 pledge above regular tithing by June 30th to help meet the goal. A commitment forum will be held on February 14th after services for members to ask questions and make initial pledges.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
