The sponsoring church arrangement describes a resource-pooling strategy employed by some congregations of the Churches of Christ. Under this arrangement, congregations and individuals send money or other resources to a congregation, which oversees those funds and resources earmarked for an individual preacher, work, project or program which the eldership of that congregation oversees..[1][2] Details Churches of Christ are autonomous congregations without formal ties between each other. After World War II some churches created the sponsoring church arrangement to coordinate their efforts in evangelism. This began with the Broadway church in Lubbock, Texas and the Union Avenue Church in Memphis soliciting funds for evangelism in Germany and Japan, respectively.[3] The most well-known of these early efforts was the Herald of Truth, a radio (and later television) program begun in 1951 by the Fifth and Highland Church of Christ in Abilene, Texas.[4] Doctrinal disagreement over the sponsoring church arrangement was one of a number of issues that led to the division between the "mainstream" Churches of Christ and the non-institutional churches that occurred in the 1960s.[5][6] One more recent well-publicized sponsoring church arrangement is "One Nation Under God",[7] wherein the Sycamore Church of Christ in Cookeville, Tennessee in 1991 solicited $10 million in order to send out evangelistic mailings to every household in America. Later plans to contact every household in the world were never realized.[8] While the arrangement is less common in recent years, it remains in use among many mainstream Churches of Christ today.[citation needed] It is particularly popular in "church planting," where an existing church sends missionaries to an area to establish a church and then oversees the nascent church for a period of time.[9] References ^ "The Church Jesus Built: Innovations in the Work of the Church".
