Our Reviews

They Was Get Organization Impacts & Get Help

"The grant was more than just funding; it was a vote of confidence from the body of Christ. The strategic support allowed us to secure a visible storefront in a high-traffic area, leading to a launch that exceeded our wildest expectations. We couldn't have done it without this partnership."

- Pastor Mark J., CityLight Church From a First-Time Planter

"I've coached dozens of planters, and those partnered with this foundation have a distinct advantage. The combination of financial stability and access to their mentor network prevents early burnout and sets churches up for long-term health, not just a flashy launch."

- Dr. Rebecca Torres, Church Planting Strategist From a Church Planting Coach

"Because of the Community Transformation Grant, we launched a weekly community meal that has become the heartbeat of our ministry. It's not just about food; it's about building relationships that allow us to share the Gospel in a tangible way. The impact has been profound."

- Pastor Sarah Chen, New Hope Community Church On Community Transformation

"As a long-time donor, I get to see the direct impact of my giving. This foundation meticulously vets its planters and provides accountability. I'm not just giving to a cause; I'm investing in specific, sustainable kingdom projects that yield real fruit."

- David L., Ministry Partner for 5 Years From a Strategic Partner

"The application process was thorough but incredibly affirming. It forced us to refine our vision and strategy. The feedback we received was invaluable, and when we were approved, we felt genuinely known and supported, not just funded."

- Elder Marcus Jones, The Gathering Place On the Application Process

- Pastor Amy Gould, River Valley Fellowship From a Rural Church Planter

"The Leadership Residency Grant allowed us to bring on an associate pastor we were mentoring. This not only grew our capacity but also created a pipeline for future leadership. They are investing in the future of the church, not just the present."

- Pastor Ben Carter, Redemption Hill Church On Leadership Development

"We partner with this grant foundation because their doctrine is sound and their process is excellent. They are a reliable, strategic force for good in the church planting ecosystem, amplifying our ability to support our planters effectively."

- Bishop Michael Reynolds, Denominational Supervisor From a Denominational Leader

- Pastors John & Melissa Abrams, Cornerstone Church On Sustainable Growth

"They truly care about the planter's soul and family, not just the project's success. The pastoral care from the foundation's team and the connections with other grantees made us feel like we weren't alone on an island. It was a true partnership."
