What will determine if a new church plant effort needs the maximum funding amount?
ELI asks all planted churches to provide monthly financial statements. It reserves the right to adjust or redirect the funding when appropriate after the initial $50,000 amount. If it is determined by ELI that a new church has reached break-even or an adequate level of self-funding and is on a solid growth track sooner than anticipated the dollars may be put to work elsewhere. This allows for a faster expansion of new churches.
