Ways to Help a New Church Start

Beyond financial support, which is important, you can “loan” your gifts and talents to help a new congregation begin.  This could include:

• Serving as a greeter for a month
• “loaning” your musical skills
• praying every day for the new church start
• offering secretarial skills
• finding out if your church office can help with materials.
• loaning or giving office equipment, paper, etc.
• paying for a flyer or advertisement in a local paper
• visiting the new church often
• helping to locate a van to transport people to the new church start
• writing letters to first-time visitors, welcoming them to the new church.
• Bringing a youth group or other organization to a worship service.
• Inviting the new church pastor to a gathering at your church.
• Give a weekend away to the new pastor for some renewal time.
• And many other ways limited only by your imagination.
