The Tend Fold Initiative
Caring for the local community, together
The Tend Fold Initiative has been funded through Lilly Endowment’s Thriving Congregations Initiative. The aim of the initiative to encourage the flourishing of congregations by helping them deepen their relationships with God, enhance their connections with each other, and contribute to the vitality of their communities and the world.
Kingdom Partners seeks to create meaningful relationships between pastors, church leaders, and community stakeholders who seek to improve the capacity and ability of their congregations to better serve the needs of their own members and the surrounding neighborhood.
We highlighted the tools and introduced the lead consultant teams who will direct us through course work.
- Frank Brock – The 10 Project – Personalized Executive/Business Coaching
- Thomas Castillo – Strategic Planning for each church
- Dr. David Docusen, The Neighborliness Center – Helping individuals discern their calling to serve
- Gabe LePage, Kingdom Partners – Meet the Need
The Lilly Endowment Inc. grant will enable Kingdom Partners to help church leaders understand the theological imperative of reaching out and caring for those in the local community. By offering extensive training and coaching to church leadership, Kingdom Partners expects to see participating churches flourish.
