Grant Application

If you are a Colorado District pastor looking to plant works, you are in the right place! Because of your giving to Christmas for Christ (CFC), we are now able to offer financial assistance at every step of the church planting process!

These benefits are available to all qualifying Colorado District pastors. Please take a few minutes to review the following guidelines and requirements:

BENEFIT

This grant program is funded by the pastors of the Colorado District who give to Christmas for Christ (CFC) and is overseen by our Colorado NAM Executive Committee. These grants provide established churches the opportunity to apply for financial support in launching Preaching Points and Daughter Works within the Colorado District.

Qualified applicants will receive one of the following two grants (you will choose which one on the application itself):

  • Daughter Work Grant in the amount of $2,038 (Acts 2:38).
  • Preaching Point Grant in the amount of $500.

PURPOSE

The primary purpose of this grant program is to encourage and assist established churches in launching new works in neighboring cities. Our district vision is, “no region left behind.” Our hope is to foster revival and growth in our district as we share the message of salvation as found in Acts 2:38. We have more than 5.9 million people to reach in our great state of Colorado.

FUNDS AVAILABILITY

The funding for this program is based on continued CFC offerings from Colorado pastors. Therefore, the available funds directed toward this grant program will be assessed annually, immediately following the conclusion of the CFC season.

Grants are only available if funding is in place. Funds are not guaranteed. This program can be terminated and/or the terms and conditions altered at any time without prior notice.

PREACHING POINT DEFINITION

A Preaching Point is a regularly scheduled service, typically once a week or at least once a month, that features preaching.

  • It is distinct from the mother church in location or language and is designed to reach people who are currently unchurched.
  • It is under the general oversight of the pastor of the Mother Church.

DAUGHTER WORK DEFINITION

A Daughter Work is a congregation that has met, in some capacity, for at least three months.

  • It is the result of the concerted efforts of an established mother church to plant a new congregation.
  • It holds at least one service per week apart from the mother church.
  • It is under the general oversight of the pastor of the mother church.
  • A daughter work must have the approval of the district North American Missions Executive Committee.

QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

A qualified applicant must satisfy the following criteria to be eligible to receive a grant:

Preaching Point App
Daughter Work App
  • If you are uncertain of the differences between these stages of church planting, please review our district policy.
  • The Mother Church must be a supporter of North American Missions, both in mission and in giving to CFC(greater than $800 over the past two years).
  • The work must have a signed lease, space rental contract, or a clearly stated space where services will be held.
  • A solidified launch date for when the new work will commence (if it has not already launched).
  • Applications are subject to review and approval by the Colorado NAM Committee and the Colorado District Board.
  • This grant is available once for each new work that a church plants. The mother church can receive this grant for each work, in each location, that it plants. A new application is required with each church plant.
  • These funds are not intended for campus works/satellite campuses but are meant for new or newer works where the mother church pastor has a vision for a new, self-governing work.

We look forward to seeing churches planted and the gospel spread throughout Colorado!
