About the Multiplication Fund
Big Ideas
FAQs
• Goal: Raise $100,000 for the Multiplication Fund.
• Purpose: Fuel gospel expansion, develop leaders, and seize a unique harvest season of spiritual openness.
• Why now: We’re out of space on Sundays, and the city is spiritually receptive in a way we haven’t seen before.
• People are hungry for something real.
• Many are coming to Jesus.
• This is a harvest season—and harvest requires workers, resources, and bold faith.
• Our church must prepare, train, and send leaders now.
In 2023, we set out to raise $100k—God multiplied it:
• $130k given → $260k with matching grants
• Launched River Valley Church (125+ attending weekly)
• Renovated their building debt-free
• Funded pastoral hiring + staff expansion
• Launched Rock City Church residency (20+ core team, gatherings underway)
• Expanded staff to reach more people in Keene
