Do church plants give back 10 percent or 2 percent?
It takes big money to plant a church, and when it comes to funding, our goal is to make sure you have the resources you need. If you complete all steps in the ARC process and gain approval following the assessment, we will match the money you raise by contributing $10,000 to $30,000 in the form of a zero-interest loan. In some larger areas, we will help ensure that you make budget for the few months after your launch. Starting seven months after your launch, you will begin to repay ARC at a rate of 10 percent of your church income. Since ARC churches give 10 percent (or a tithe) to missions, this amount counts as your missions dollars during the repayment period. Once you have repaid the funds loaned to you by ARC, your missions giving will be 2 percent to ARC and 8 percent or more to your choice of recipient(s).
