Giving Streams
THE GIVING STREAMS ARE ESSENTIAL TO REALIZING THE FREE METHODIST CHURCH IN CANADA’S VISION OF SEEING A HEALTHY CHURCH WITHIN THE REACH OF ALL PEOPLE IN CANADA AND BEYOND.
As church boards discuss their annual budgets, we ask that they prayerfully consider a Giving Streams strategy which includes selecting a Giving Stream, determining the amount that will be contributed, and communicating the strategy to the congregation.
The three Giving Streams, church planting, leadership development, and intercultural missions, are essential to realising the Free Methodist Church in Canada’s vision of seeing a healthy church within the reach of all people in Canada and beyond.
Together we can create strong, healthy ministries that refresh and sustain our churches, neighbourhoods, and communities both locally and internationally.
Intercultural
Missions
This stream supports our ongoing involvement in global ministry partnerships and international projects and new involvement with these two unreached communities within Canada: Indigenous peoples, and new immigrants.
Church
Planting
As a movement, planting new churches is vital to our overall health. Just as a forest needs both new and established growth to be viable and healthy, we need new expressions of church within our denomination. This stream supports new ideas, church planters, and church planting coaches.
Leadership
Development
The FMCiC believes in investing strategically investing our resources in those who want to learn and become part of our as part of our mission and movement. This stream supports tuition to those pursuing undergraduate, graduate and doctoral work
