Introduction:

At ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· North Central, we are dedicated to fostering growth, renewal, and outreach among our churches. We understand that momentum is key to achieving our spiritual goals, and one of the most impactful ways to create this momentum is through church planting. To help you multiply your efforts and build momentum, we are thrilled to introduce the Church Planting Escrow Program, a special opportunity for all ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· North Central churches.

Overview of the Program:

The Church Planting Escrow Program is designed to empower all ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· North Central churches to save money for church planting. Here's how it works:

1. Your Commitment: Your church commits to escrowing funds with ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· North Central for the purpose of church planting and makes regular contributions.
2. Matching Funds: The best part is, ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· North Central is here to support your vision. We will match your contributions, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000*.
3. Support for Planters: Recognizing that church planters often raise funds themselves, we extend our support to them as well. We will match the amount raised by your chosen planter, up to $50,000*.

Administration Details:

To alleviate any administrative burdens, ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· North Central will handle all the necessary administrative, bookkeeping, and savings responsibilities for the escrowed funds. Your church will have a five-year window to access these funds for church planting, giving you control over the most recent five years' contributions. Any funds exceeding this time frame will be allocated to the ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· North Central Church Planting Fund to ensure that your investment is making a real impact where it's needed the most.

Our Commitment to All ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· North Central Churches:

This initiative is open to all ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· North Central churches, enabling us to join hands and make a collective impact. As an example, let's consider Resurrection City Church, which has recently embraced this opportunity. As of April 6, 2023, they have escrowed funds of $9,586.56 earmarked for Church Planting with ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· North Central. ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· North Central has committed to matching and returning these funds for church planting over the next five years. If these funds are not utilized for their intended purpose by April 5, 2028, any remaining funds will be directed toward Church Planting to advance the Kingdom within our region.

Conclusion:

We believe that the Church Planting Escrow Program is a remarkable way to activate the spirit of your congregation, motivating them to plant new churches. This program embodies the heart of ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· North Central - supporting the growth of our churches and the expansion of God's Kingdom. We are excited to see the impact that this initiative will have in our region.

Thank you for your partnership and dedication to spreading the message of Jesus to as many people as possible. Together, we can create the momentum needed to bring about lasting change and renewal in our communities.

With faith and unity,

Mark Bjorlo
