When local ministries are equipped with the right tools and support, transformation happens—not just within organizations, but in lives and communities across our city.

 

That’s exactly what we’ve seen in our first year serving the Lexington region through Mission Increase. More than 150 ministries have stepped in to receive biblically-based coaching, hands-on training, and strategic guidance. The results? Increased clarity. Renewed confidence. And a growing sense of unity among leaders who know they’re not alone.

 

“Mission Increase has helped bolster our team's confidence in fundraising and given us helpful tools in strategic planning.” -Laura Carr, Lexington Rescue Mission

 

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, all Mission Increase services are offered at no cost to nonprofits. That means the financial barriers have been removed—and you can receive the training, support, and encouragement you need to see your mission flourish.

 

Through Mission Increase, you’ll gain access to:

 

Hands-On Coaching – Practical, personalized support tailored to your ministry’s goals

Live Trainings – High-impact workshops on fundraising, donor development, and strategy

On-Demand Learning – 24/7 access to videos, resources, and templates

Community Networking – A growing local network of peer ministries and nonprofit leaders

“Knowing there's a local resource like MI has been helpful. It has also allowed me to network with other local nonprofit leaders.” -Josh Roberts, Qashar Ministries

 

 “Through Mission Increase coaching I now have an informed, step-by-step process that guides the way I view and approach my work.” -Chris Sparks, Sayre Christian Village

 

Whether you're launching something new or leading an established ministry, this is an opportunity to grow, and you're invited.
