New funding model applied at Waterfront Community Church
Think how much more ministry your church could accomplish if the dollars in the plate directly funded ministry. What if you could find an alternative way to cover the overhead of your church?
One church decided to think outside the box. The result? A story worth telling your friends about.
"Some people like to see where their money is going," said Semradek, 38, a former pastor at Willow Creek Community Church. "My dream is every time a person puts a dollar in the plate, something happens. When you give, you see a face on the other side that you're blessing."
Waterfront Community Church has sponsors that cover all the administrative overhead associated with running an organization. That means 100% of all giving goes directly to ministry. That's a powerful story for people who are looking to give yet being more cautious than ever about who they give their money to.
Read Christians want say where money goes.
