The Startup Church Fund seeks to strengthen and support new churches as part of catalyzing and fostering a healthy gospel ecosystem in the Bay Area.

In partnership with TBC,  this initiative provides financial support to a portfolio of church plants that reflect the diversity of geography, ethnicity, and church-planting models in the Bay Area.

Our matching grants are designed to create a catalyzing opportunity for a church plant to receive significant financial investment. We seek to work in partnership with the existing donors, networks, and organizations to bring needed financial resources to a new church. 

Since 2019, over 8.5 million dollars has been donated to new churches through our matching grant program.

The Bay Area consistently ranks at or near the top of the most expensive places to live, as well as the most expensive locations for startup organizations.
