Instructions and Information

  1. ChurchCare is a subsidiary corporation of Baptist Church Planters. ChurchCare is a not for profit ministry designed to help churches with various types of needs. Through Biblical counsel, and thorough evaluation our counselors will help design a course of action that will result in a God honoring solution to your specific circumstance.
  2. If dissolution is the course of action, ChurchCare will help prepare a plan for closure that will bring blessing to the remaining members, maintain a God honoring testimony in the community, and preserve the assets of the church to be used for church planting and other mission’s ministries.
  3. ChurchCare also manages a Revolving Loan Fund. The revolving loan fund is used to fund church planting properties and facilities within the USA. Church Care will encourage every church we are ministering to, to designate a portion of their assets to Church Care. We suggest a minimum of 25%. These funds will be used to fund our Revolving Loan Fund and a portion will be forwarded to Baptist Church planters to be used to further church planting in the USA.
  4. ChurchCare does not have a fee schedule. When invited by the church to come and present the ministry, or consult with leadership, it is expected that the church will be responsible to pay professional, and travel expenses.
  5. References and/or completed project reports are available upon request.
  6. Please complete the information and application forms and provide a brief description of the nature of your request.
