The Tend Fold Initiative
The project is being 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.
Our Mission:
To encourage, equip, and empower grassroots leaders to serve Greater Chattanooga families by forming transformational relationships between schools, churches, government and businesses.
Kingdom Partners is a growing faith-based Chattanooga network of 150+ churches and nonprofits. 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. The Endowment 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. Kingdom Partners training program will focus on leadership, strategic planning, mentoring, team building, gift assessment, and church software. Over the course of the next three years, Kingdom Partners seeks to serve approximately ten churches each year. Churches must apply to participate in the program. After the first year’s cohort has completed the program, Kingdom Partners will assess the strengths and weaknesses of various initiatives so that outcomes can be assessed and needed corrections made.
