Local church plant celebrates fifth anniversary (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Youâve met many pastors in this space. Most have been in established churches with ongoing ministries that reach into their communities from a built-out church campus. But youâve also heard from several church planters. These generally move in and out of a school, theater, car dealership or other rented space each and every Sunday. One group that follows such things summed up the challenge of creating a new church in this way: âChurch planting is difficult, treacherous and not guaranteed t

One does not look to this faith column for financial advice. Still, there are several ways that houses of worship, nonprofits and donors can lose if non-cash gifts are offered without knowing just a bit more.
