Faith and Finance

Cardus reports that religion contributes $67.5 billion to Canada’s economy. Churches make a difference locally, regionally and nationally in programs that we provide, space we make available, the supplies and money we spend, and most importantly the impact of our people in and around the neighbourhood.

This session will reveal the economic impact of churches and also help us begin to consider what else is possible.
Stephanie Swepson-Twitty, CEO Eagle Market Streets Development Corporation; Kevin Jones, Faith & Finance; and
Aaron Kuecker, Provost at Trinity Christian College, Illinois speak about the Community Equity Fund and the Perpetual Mission Fund.
