Lease a facility using the estimated upfront financial requirement
Create resources and providing a stipend for potential church planters
Provide furnishings needed for a church and ministry center. i.e. chairs, technology, Kids & Teen areas, office furniture, etc.
Hire key staff to support the mission and carry the workload that comes with doing more ministry for more people
Relieve the financial burden of a new lease. Without these funds, quick growth (in number of attendees/members) becomes necessary, or finances will be reallocated from direct mission to paying the facility lease.
Create a structured program to train church leaders to think, communicate, and lead across cultural, racial, socioeconomic,and generational differences
Allow us to be flexible to advance Kingdom opportunities we can’t yet see but God may place in our path

Two of the biggest needs in North Charleston are alcohol and drug addiction services, and youth programs (especially for teenagers). Having a facility with offices, meetings spaces, and other non-sanctuary space will allow us to serve these needs and host other organizations that serve these needs and more. This would be in addition to our desire to train leaders and plant multiethnic churches
The Bible says that the “One who watches the wind will not sow, and the one who looks at the clouds will not reap.” (Ecclesiastes 11:4) In our context, that means there is never a perfect time to take a step of faith, and yet 2020 has proven beyond a doubt that the Church needs to do a better job of discipleship—and discipleship in a multiethnic context. With your support and by God’s grace, the Be Radiant VISION 2021 will accomplish both of these goals. To hear a sermon that fully answers this question CLICK HERE.

The residencies are immersive training environments that help prospective church planters discover, develop, and deploy their gifts to start new churches. We hope to announce our next church-planting resident very soon!

Pledges should be made as soon as God grants clarity. A soft-target date to aim for is the end of January. This helps church staff pray and plan according to your faith.
Pastors Neal and Philip will make themselves available to talk through any part of this. You can also talk to your Community Group leader to schedule a time for either Pastor Neal or Philip to speak with your group directly.
To learn more, visit our discipleship resource page. Also, we will be preaching through these themes in January 2021.
