In partnership with Reliant, we're launching a new series that tackles one of the biggest obstacles in church planting: money.

We often discuss new church models for reaching a shifting cultural landscape, but those new models sometimes require new funding models. Raising hundreds of thousands of dollars that starts a three-year sustainability countdown might not be the best way forward for everyone. So Chestly and Jon Crawford discuss new ways to get the funding you need to accomplish the mission.
