Today (both with and without Covid-19) the world is changing fast. Many of us our looking for new ways of supporting important ministries without relying entirely on the offerings of congregants.
More and more, communities are combining a viable business model and ministry. A secondhand store is a common example of this approach.
This webinar will introduce participants to the concept of social enterprise and how the United Church of Canada is using this model to extend its reach further into the communities it serves.
Come listen in and see if there are opportunities where this model might work to further the vision in your place.

She works directly in supporting their 400 new initiatives that have been funded through Embracing the Spirit, the 600 social innovations that have launched through the Social Innovation Challenge, and working directly with communities of faith to help them reimagine church outside of Sunday.
