The Alleluia Fund For Mission is an Annual giving opportunity for every Episcopalian during the Great Fifty Days of Easter. Through the fund we give from our abundance to accomplish the goal of planting new churches in the many areas of the diocese crying out for them.  The fund is a chance for everyone to participate in raising capital for the Great Commission.

 

Giving is a significant spiritual practice, and a joyful response to God’s generosity toward us. The church encourages it by providing a variety of giving opportunities. The Alleluia Fund for Mission welcomes gift, large and small as we seek to build a venture capital fund capable of starting Episcopal Parishes wherever needed in the diocese.

 

The Alleluia Fund for Mission is not a capital campaign. Rather it is an ongoing gathering of resources in which every member of the Diocese of Atlanta is encouraged to participate. Focused on the Great Fifty Days of Easter, the fund invites individuals, parishes, youth groups, Sunday School classes, and auxiliaries of all sorts to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord by giving to help spread the Good News. Congregations will be strengthened. Parishes will be developed. People will be reached. Ultimately, many more will share the joy of living in the power of the Resurrection.

 

 

 

The Fund is an essential step toward the creation of a climate that will joyfully support future growth. Money that will be raised will be used for the following;

 

 

 

*      Hiring and support of new mission developers

*      Proactively purchasing land

*      Establishing a dedicated fund for support of new growth in the diocese

*      Freeing up funds, currently budgeted for new starts, for use in assisting established parishes.

*      Strengthening the diocesan budget by increasing the number of parishes

 

*      Reaching those not attending church

*      Reaching out to communities not typically evangelized by our church

*      Raising the profile of Episcopalians

*      Sharing God’s love, as we fulfill Christ’s command to “..Go and make disciples’ (Mt. 28:19)

*      Demonstrating that, even in times of transition, we are committed to raising capital for the Great Commission

 

 

In our demographically – challenging society, we must decide whether our church will embrace the opportunities of changing times with excitement and zeal, or defensively retreat from the opportunities being presented, thereby rendering ourselves increasingly marginal.

 

The 2004 Annual Council of the Diocese unanimously passed a resolution supporting the Alleluia Fund for Mission. Join your brothers and sisters in Christ and enthusiastically spreading the Gospel and extending the work of the Episcopal Church.
