Thriving Church Partners

Partner with us to imagine the future.

What are Thriving Church Partners?

Invested Faith Thriving Church Partners are congregations who want to join efforts supporting future-looking and faithful work across the country by supporting Invested Faith’s model of giving small, unrestricted grants to faith-rooted entrepreneurs dreaming up new models of community, and justice-making across the country.

Thriving Churches contribute at all levels. With these gifts, churches and other faith institutions participate in the resurrection work God is doing in our world through their support of Invested Faith Fellows. Thriving Churches understand that their gifts have impact long beyond an initial investment.

Learn more about our Thriving Church Partner program by watching this video.

“Our partnership with Invested Faith is a natural continuation of St. Peter’s long history and witness. Through our ongoing relationship with Invested Faith, this initial gift from our endowed funds not only helps equip new models and understanding of what it means to be “church,” it also seeks to model God’s justice as an act of reparations, seeds planted in often overlooked and underserved communities. Our work together is a bold act of faith.”

How Can My Church Get Involved?

Holy Disruption: Read Pastor Amy’s new book

This book, coming out in September 2025, invites you to be dissatisfied with the way things are and to listen deeply to the needs of your community. It encourages you to audit your resources – your "facilities, your finances, your strengths, your people, your caché with the community" – and consider how they might be radically reimagined for new life. Read with your small group - there’s an included study guide!

Mission Offerings

A simple way to get involved: direct your church’s monthly mission offering to Invested Faith one month! Download resources here: for use in bulletins, weekly newsletters, and social media!

Sponsor A Fellow

For $15,000, your congregation can sponsor an Invested Faith Fellow! We will work to locate a Fellow nearby or working on an issue your congregation cares about. Money given goes directly to a new Fellow, to our Resourced program to support their growth, and is invested back in our work to help find and fund even more Fellows. Email us here if you’d like to learn more.

Give To The Invested Faith Fund

Giving to the Invested Faith fund allows your giving to be invested and grow, ensuring our Fellows are supported long into the future! For congregations who are looking to make a big impact, a gift to the Invested Faith Fund is a way to bring your witness to new places.

Please reach out to us for more information if your congregation is interested.
