Good Futures Accelerator| Make Good With RootedGood

Is your church building costing you more than you can afford?

Does it sit empty for large portions of the week?

Are you having trouble keeping up with your annual budget due to declines in membership or giving?

Are you wondering how to better connect your ministry with the needs and gifts of your neighborhood?

What if you could flip the switch and turn what is currently a liability into an asset? What if you could use your buildings and property to further your mission and ministry in your neighborhood and to generate new forms of income?

Good Futures Accelerator is a dynamic and proven course that empowers congregations to align money and mission by exploring how to creatively use their church buildings and property to further their mission and build financial resilience.

Good Futures Accelerator Overview

Effective - Good Futures will get the congregation to a viable idea for social enterprise using their building and/or property.
Efficient - It will take most churches about 9-12 months to complete the course.
Self-directed - The church works at its own pace.
Multi-format learning experience - Content and activities are accessed via printed materials, online videos, games, in-person group exercises and more.
Engages leaders AND the whole congregation - The core course is taken by a leadership team of about 5 people from each congregation. Exercises throughout the process help to engage the full congregation in what leaders are learning and what is emerging from the accelerator.
Excellent return on investment - Congregations that participated in the pilot are already making great strides towards a sustainable financial model and bringing in as much as $100,000 a year through new mission-aligned income.
