The New Life Fund will raise $200,000 over a two-year-period in matching funds for the $600,000 in grant money from The Episcopal Church. This graphic explains the flow of funds:

Campaign co-chairs are Mr. John Banks, a member of All Saints’, Fort Worth and chair of the diocesan Finance Committee; and the Rev. Jim Hazel, retired priest of the diocese and president of the Corporation. Honorary campaign chairs are Assisting Bishops Rayford B. High, Jr. and Sam Hulsey.

This money will be used to invest in people – clergy and lay leadership – as we plant churches, train new clergy through curacy programs and support congregational growth and outreach such as the 4Saints Episcopal Food Pantry.

On Thursday, April 6, Bishop Curry commissioned and blessed the Parker County church plant team. Read about the church plant and watch a short video of the commissioning.
