The Association of Related Churches (ARC) is dedicated to planting and supporting life-giving churches, but no church planter thrives in isolation. Behind every successful congregation is a network of passionate individuals and organizations committed to providing essential resources, funding, and expertise for sustainable growth.

At the heart of this mission stands the Wesleyan Investment Foundation (WIF), ARC’s Vision Partner, along with a select group of Strategic and Impact Partners who play a pivotal role in accelerating church planting efforts. These partnerships transform bold visions into reality by equipping pastors and leaders with the tools they need to build strong, thriving churches.

Wesleyan Investment Foundation: Fueling Church Growth

One of the biggest challenges new and expanding churches face is securing financial resources. As ARC’s Vision Partner, the Wesleyan Investment Foundation (WIF) helps remove financial obstacles by offering tailored financial solutions designed specifically for churches.

WIF provides investment opportunities that fund church loans for property purchases, renovations, and facility expansions. By understanding the unique financial needs of churches, WIF enables pastors to focus on ministry, outreach, and leadership—without being weighed down by financial strain.

Through this vital partnership, churches within the Association of Related Churches are empowered to grow, flourish, and effectively serve their communities.

These organizations invest in ARC’s mission by providing financial backing, critical resources, and expert guidance that directly support church planters.

By working alongside ARC, these partners help churches launch strong, grow sustainably, and make a lasting impact in their communities.
