The three-year grant totaling $25,000 is being matched by members of the start-up congregation. The church began through the help of Christian Associates International as a means of providing an alternative style of church within a postmodern urban society. Its goals are to foster authentic Christian community through nontraditional weekly gatherings, called “homezones,” that meet in the homes of individual believers for more intensive fellowship and study. The homezones also form the basis for relational outreach within the community. These groups meet together on a monthly basis for collective worship and fellowship. The hope is that by the end of three years, this new church plant in Munster, Germany will be entirely self-supporting. Discovering new ways to conduct church within a postmodern society like Western Europe requires creative non-traditional approaches. The Mustard Seed Foundation actively seeks to encourage the establishment of new models of church planting that better meet the needs of different communities, and reach out in a more effective way. Church planting is one of the most common forms of outreach that the Foundation supports worldwide. While most of the grants we award for church planting tend to be given to a mother church which provides the nurture and accountability for a daughter congregation, some of our grants support the new independent church plants themselves. Most church planting grants are awarded for multiple years, with our support reducing gradually each year to encourage greater financial independence of the church. Evangelical Methodist Church Bratislava, SLOVAKIA $10,500 (3 grants) Evangelical Mission Source of Life Paris, FRANCE $15,000 Evangelical Pentecostal Church Pula, CROATIA $10,000 Evangelical Protestant Church Lille, FRANCE $12,000
In 2006 the First Greek Evangelical Church received a two-year $4,400 grant to establish a Christian orchestra in Athens, Greece. Inspired by the successful orchestra music ministry of All Souls Church in London and knowing the love of classical music in Greece, this church launched its own music ministry as a means of engaging non- Christians. Much of the grant was used for general start-up and travel expenses. Using a variety of means and methods to communicate the love of Christ is highly encouraged by the Mustard Seed Foundation. We were pleased to encourage this church in Athens to develop an outreach initiative involving the use of classical music. We desire to see God’s redeeming and restorative grace brought to us through different types of creative art.
