Global Resources Impact Reports

Stewardship Services

^{Excerpted from the Assembly Report of Rev. Ted Miller, Director}

During the last five years, I have been able to reconnect with many old friends and make many new friends. Relationships truly are the currency of the Kingdom. The heart of Stewardship Services is to provide our entire PCG family with the financial tools to be fully funded for the area of God’s Kingdom in which you are called to serve. Those financial planning tools include various insurance options, investments, debt elimination strategies, and education. PCG ministers have an amazing opportunity in the tax code to be the only person who can earn money, save money, and potentially spend that money without ever paying any taxes. We are here to serve you and your congregations. As we all work together as One Mission—One Movement, Stewardship Services aims to encourage and equip the PCG family to thrive and be blessed in our finances. Let’s be blessed so that we can be a blessing.

Communications

^{Excerpted from the Assembly Report of Rev. Spencer Ming, Director}

As you know, we have already reached the halfway marker through this Decade of Harvest, and by God’s grace, I believe that we are impacting eternity together. Below, allow me to tell a tale of what the Lord has done and how far we’ve come.

• Before 2020, we recognized that our online presence had all but dissipated. Not only was our website and branding antiquated, but across the board, PCG Communications seemingly existed only to maintain the status quo. With renewed efforts to engage on social media and through the launch of a new website and online store, we have been afforded the opportunity to connect, resource, and witness as one church in 6000+ locations. On average, we are now receiving 30,000 page views and reaching at least 15,000 people across 90+ nations cumulatively on a monthly basis.

• This magazine, The Pentecostal Messenger (PM), remains an investment into our ministers as a free digital resource and communication tool with high production quality. In fact, last year, we submitted one of our magazines to a contest hosted by the Evangelical Press Association, where we were awarded a certificate for 3rd Place, Best in Class.

Resource Development

^{Excerpted from the Assembly Report of Rev. Spencer Ming, Director}

Over the last five years, Messenger Publishing House has grown and expanded to form an umbrella department we are now calling “PCG Resource Development.” For nearly a decade, Messenger Publishing House (MPH) functioned almost independently in Joplin as the other ministry and missions departments relocated to Bedford, Texas. In 2020, however, MPH finally transitioned, establishing greater unity and stability. At the General Assembly in 2023, we were able to testify concerning the $100,000 budgetary turnaround that took place between July 2021 and December 2022. MPH is now financially self-sufficient and primed for growth. For example, by means of our new online store and resource database (pcg.org/resources), we now have an ever-growing library that contains at least 400 free and for purchase resources (including articles, sermons, devotions, books, apparel, curriculum, courses, and more). Allow me a moment to highlight three such resources available to the Pentecostal Church of God...

• DISCIPLESHIP CURRICULUM:

Did you know that 80% of those who engage in a discipleship group remain in the church five years later? That’s four times more likely than those who merely attend Sunday morning worship! With new lessons created for every age group and every week of the year, MPH provides materials of great value to small groups, discipleship ministries, and Sunday school classrooms. Still, they remain an underutilized resource in our Movement. If the statistic above is accurate, we believe these materials represent an incredible opportunity for long-term retention in your congregation. For more information, please call our offices (1-800-444-4674) or browse our available options on the website (pcg.org/store).

• FORERUNNER EXPERIENCE:

FXP was developed to help young leaders (ages 17-30) explore their callings through mentorship and community. To date, 265 individuals have participated, and roughly 20% of those have gone on to earn credentials with the PCG! Forerunners around the country are now serving in local churches, continuing their education at Messenger College and elsewhere, mentoring other young leaders, and some are even serving in district-level leadership. To learn more or register for the upcoming fall 2025 term, visit pcg.org/forerunner. In this Decade of Harvest, our missional goals are not far-fetched. Through the Forerunner Experience, we pray for and anticipate reaching at least 500 next-gen leaders by the end of the decade—half of the overall goal through only this one endeavor. Through our other online courses, the current trajectory suggests we can equip more than 1500 prospective ministers. Yes, we have work to do, but we believe the Lord can “excelerate our missional pace” so that even these figures will be exponentially surpassed.
