For the past 13 months, Disciples have been struggling with social isolation. They’ve stayed away from their places of worship to protect the health and safety of themselves and others. It has been difficult.
From hospital/prison chaplains to tri-vocational pastors, new church leaders have answered the call to be the new church. The Pentecost Offering supports Disciples new church development. Planning, nurturing, and sustaining new congregations is part of the Disciples’ vision.
This offering supports the ministry of new church development through regional and general programs. Gifts for this offering are divided equally between the region in which they are given and the New Church Ministry to train, equip, assist, and multiply emerging and affiliating congregations and leaders.
