Your partnership helps accomplish two things:
Missional Focus
With a strong base of external donors, we can focus on what’s most important: calling those who are far from God to become those who are sent by God. Every dollar raised gives us more space to build connections in our neighbourhood, raise up missional disciples, and witness the power of God as He transforms lives.
Long-Term Foundation
We dream of 100 years of renewal in and through Vancouver. By planting with a solid financial footing, we can spend our early years already planning for the multiplication of leaders and churches, rather than fighting to keep a single church afloat.
