Giving Streams
Acting upon our connectional value, Free Methodist churches in Canada - together - support a number of ministry areas that maximize our impact beyond our local churches. Each church, at the local level, decides what contributions will be made and where those funds will be directed. These "together" ministries allow our influence to expand throughout Canada and beyond.
GIVING STREAMS - PROJECTION SHEET
ONE PAGE EXPLANATION OF CORE GIVING AND GIVING STREAMS
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Developing gifted and passionate Christian leaders for ministry in the Free Methodist Church is a priority. The Leadership Scholarship Plan (LSP) makes fund available to students who are pursuing ministry within the Free Methodist Church in Canada. This fund also supports pastors retreats, internships and pastors' network resources.
CHURCH DEVELOPMENT
Developing new healthy churches in communities across Canada is a priority. Church Development makes funds available to help with the start-up of new church plants. In 2006, our collective contributions help church-plants in Peterborough, Montreal, Sherbrooke, and Toronto…. New church-planting opportunities are awaiting financial resourcing.
QUEBEC MINISTRIES
The province of Quebec, with over six million people is the most unevangelized region in North America. The people of Quebec need to be a priority for vibrant Christian witness. This fund supports ministry development in Quebec through leadership training and church plant mentoring.
GLOBAL MINISTRIES
Increasing our involvement in the world is a priority. Global Ministries funds enable our missionaries to faithfully point people of other cultures to the healing and transformation that is to be found only in Jesus Christ.

CANADIAN FM MISSIONARIES
Our collective resources contribute to the training and development of indigenous Christian leaders, to Christian witness amongst unreached people groups, and to the relief of hurting people through the ministries of the Free Methodist Church.
Our Canadian missionaries are vitally involved in helping us reach beyond our own borders to touch the world. Your support for (bottom left to right) Dan Sheffield, Lois Meredith, Debbie Hogeboom, and Linda Stryker enables our participation in these ministry priorities. Their ministries touch people in Rwanda, Burundi, Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, India, Sri Lanka and the Philippines.
GATEWAY CITIES (PDF)
These 100 cities, found in the most unreached regions of the world, are urban centres that allow us to touch unreached people groups in a strategic manner. Canadian Free Methodist churches are presently developing Christian witness in 3 Gateway Cities in South Asia and East Africa. Our collective resources are helping to fund these new initiatives.
