Past the Plate to
Fund More Ministry, Serve More People, and Expand Their Impact
A vision from God.
A community that needs help.
A pastor who wants to make a difference.
And then…
The budget says no.
Not because the vision is wrong.
Not because the need isn’t real.
But because the church relies on one primary stream of income:
Sunday giving.
And when that one stream gets tight…
Ministry gets limited.
Let Me Ask You Something...
What could your church accomplish
in your community if
funding was not the limiting factor?
More outreach.
More programs for families.
More support for people who are struggling.
Healthy organizations rarely depend on just one source of income.
They build multiple streams of support that fuel their mission.
And when churches begin thinking this way…
Something powerful happens.
They stop asking:
“Can we afford to do this ministry?”
And start asking:
“How many people can we serve?”
☀️ The Year That Changed Everything
For almost 30 years, I served in pastoral ministry.
Like most churches, ours relied primarily on Sunday giving to fund the work God had called us to do.
And like many pastors, I often found myself asking the same question:
"How can we expand ministry when the budget is already stretched?"
So we began exploring something different.
We started looking for mission-aligned ways to create additional streams of support.
Nothing flashy.
Nothing complicated.
Just practical opportunities that used assets we already had.
➡️ Our building.
➡️ Our expertise.
➡️ Our community relationships
➡️ Our small outreach that could expand
if given the right chance.
And something remarkable happened.
In one year, our church was able to do
$48,000 more in ministry and community impact
than the year before.
Not because giving suddenly doubled.
But because we had discovered a new way to fund the mission.
That experience became the
foundation for what I now teach as
Past the Plate.

"This work led Rural Chapel to be open to allowing others to use the building in order to grow our impact for Jesus. This brought to the table an entrepreneur who wanted to start a neurodivergent preschool. We also launched a craft fair in 2023 with the goal of making a little bit of money and impacting people for Jesus. This event has grown our social media impact and has created pathways for people to connect to our church...
...we are in a new space of dreaming about how God could make an impact through us
through partnerships like this. ~Rev. Craig Moock
