Standing and Credentialing

Forms and information about applying for standing are currently managed through the Clergy Care Office in Great Bend.

Disciples Mission Fund is the common fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).  Disciples Mission Fund supports 72 ministries of wholeness as close as your local congregation and reaching around the globe.  As a Global Mission church, we understand that equipping congregations for mission includes learning from, learning with and offering support to our partners beyond the borders of the United States and Canada. 

Center for Faith and Giving provides educational materials and serves as a conduit to other related resources that teach stewardship as a spiritual discipline.

We understand that stewardship is about more than money.  It is about the faithful management of all of the resources and gifts that come into our lives, including, but not limited to the care for the earth; the observance of Sabbath; care for ourselves; care for the Gospel; and the care for our material goods and possessions.

The Parish Paper is a free monthly resource for pastors and church leaders. Read Parish Paper issues here.
