Church Planting, Technology & Culture
20 Apr
Yesterday I met with 9 church planters here in San Diego. Admist the conversation, one guy told us how he raised $450,000 for the next five years. He got the idea from Funding Your Ministry: Whether You're Gifted or Not
His primary method was to approach local churches that would allow him to speak to 10 congregants. He then pitched his vision to these congregants and asked if they would be willing to make a monthly tithe commitment of $300, $500 or $1,000. There you have it, that is how he has $7,500 a month above and beyond his congregations tithe. [btw- If you want to support church planting in the South West, I'd be more than happy to take a monthly commitment!]
UPDATE: The Tentmaker Group has launched to help church planters raise funding.

Drew is an elder/pastor at Kaleo Church and CEO of Monk Development. Kaleo is a church planting movement in San Diego. Drew spends much of his time thinking about church planting strategy, web missiology and being a husband and father of two (Gideon & Roman). More about Drew Goodmanson.

Please feel free to check out the above web site to see we are who we say we are. My name is Shannon and in 3 weeks my wife, and 3 children (9,7,&5) are are being “sent” to San Diego with approx. 35 individuals from our current church where I have been on staff for the last 4 years. (Puyallup Foursquare Church) We are planting a church in the North Costal area of San Diego county. This plant has been in process for the last 10 years and is about to happen. We have raised 30k from our current church and our denomination is giving us 20k, for a total of 50k. We are attempting to raise 150k through various “streams”. Any other creative ideas would be huge, thanks!
