What We Mean By The 'Modern' Faith Leader
From traditional pastors to entrepreneurial ministers, the role of Faith Leader is expansive. We use the term modern to clarify that we work with faith leaders in a vast array of vocational calls. In many ways, the 21st Century calls us out of our traditional spaces of worship to engage the world in new and innovative ways. So, whether you are a pastor of a big steeple historic church or a nonprofit leader leading advocacy efforts, Reverend Money is here to support you in your financial journey and help you flourish in your vocational call.
Our Firm's Mottos
Trust The mission. Believe the vision. Trust the mission.
We envision a future where systemic poverty doesn't exist. This motto reminds us to have faith in that vision and that our mission will help make that vision a reality.
Embrace your wild imagination.
The world we imagine has never been done. As a result, we have to imagine something different. This motto reminds us to be creative in our work.
Progress, not perfection.
Entrepreneurship is hard. Ministry is hard. We won't always get it right on the first try, but we must continue to move forward toward our vision.
Less is more.
We embrace the lean startup model. As a social impact venture we are committed to keeping costs low and building a sustainable revenue model.
Health is wealth.
Justice-driven work can cause burnout and compassion fatigue. As we scale our firm, we are committed to the wellbeing of our team - from thriving wages to time for rest and restoration.
Practice what we preach.
Our work is rooted in the pursuit of economic justice. As such we have to make sure we operate in a way that aids the work, not hinder it.
