What Church Leaders are Saying

Michael Forney
COO—Free Methodist Church USA

My conversations with Mark and the CE team have significantly expanded my thinking about what faithful stewardship and sustainable ministry can look like. The "three-legged stool" has helped me see the need to think simultaneously about church, non-profit, and for profit enterprise. As a result, our denomination's entire funding model is shifting to lessen the burden on generosity and create additional streams of revenue to expand missional impact. We've created a Sustainability & Advancement Team to identify and cultivate grants and donations, and started one related business that quickly became self-supporting while delivering valuable mission impact.

Naeem Fazal
Founding and Lead Pastor—Mosaic Church, Charlotte, NC

Mark’s concept of the three-legged stool was a game changer for us. We put it into practice immediately. Since then, we’ve more than doubled our real estate footprint and now generate over 30% of our budget from rental income. Along the way, we’ve partnered with startup schools, helped launch four churches, built out a gymnasium, transformed church space for events, and are now developing a community co-working café.

Jason Janz
Founding Pastor—Providence Bible Church, Denver, CO

Providence began as a small church of about 200 people with a vision to help families in our neighborhood move out of poverty. By God’s grace, that work has now reached thousands through our partnership with CrossPurpose. It has been a joy to watch the church and nonprofit work in tandem, each bringing distinct strengths to a shared mission. Mark has been an important voice in shaping our thinking, particularly around sustaining that partnership through humility, trust, honest communication, and a steady focus on the people we are called to serve.
