The Big Six: Questions You Might Ask Before Partnering With Us…

1. Do you have a strategy?
Yes! We have taken the time to think through many issues concerning our vision for the church. You can find this document HERE. The document is well over 100 pages and covers issues ranging from a definition of the gospel to demographics to our first year’s budget.

2. How are your finances manage?
Our finances are managed by an accountant with Jersey Baptist Church in Pataskala, Ohio. He is volunteering his time to track giving for tax deductions, manage payroll and keep us accountable.

3. When are you planning to be self-sufficient?
We desire to be self-sufficient as soon as possible, however we believe that we can be completely self-sufficient in five years. Every year for five years we will decrease our outside support as our inside giving grows.

4. What is your demographic?
Urban Columbus. This means the surrounding neighborhoods of downtown Columbus. Some major neighborhoods include the Short North, German Village, Old Towne East, Franklinton, OSU Campus and Grandview. People come from all walks of life but many are young urban professionals who carry a great deal of influence in the arts and marketplace.

5. Do you have other partnerships?
Yes! We have gone through rigorous church planting assessments through the North American Missions Board and Acts 29 Church Planting Network and have been approved with flying colors. Besides those networks we are partnered with large churches and small churches as well as many individuals. Despite these valuable partnerships we need many more to finance this calling.

6. Will I be updated regularly?
Yes! You will receive a monthly email and a bi-monthly newsletter from Nick and Brittany Nye. We also are available to come speak at your church or meet with you individually for updates and encouragement.
