Funding conversation for national church

Mennonite Church Eastern Canada

"God has enough [resources] to do what we are called to do," said Al Rempel to the MCEC representatives who met at St. Jacobs on November 16 for the "national church conversation on funding" initiated by Mennonite Church Canada. He added, "This doesn't mean we sit back and say 'If it's God's will, it's God's bill!'"

Rempel, development director for MC Canada, and Dan Nighswander, general secretary, spoke of the partnership of MC Canada and MCEC. MCEC is the only area church that has a funding formula whereby a percentage of givings from congregations are forwarded to MC Canada instead of being sent directly by churches.
