Lizzy Woolf (Rector of St George’s Leeds) and Matthew Porter (former vicar of the Belfrey, York, now Bishop of Bolton) share their experience of financing church planting from the Resource Church. They consider questions around whether to send a church plant with a financial gift, how much to give, who to involve in decision making, why giving is important, and whether they would do it again.
