Strategic partnerships The EPC actively pursues collaborations, such as the Knox Seminary partnership to support pastoral leadership and a long-standing alliance with CCOjubilee to reach campuses. This indicates a priority on allied initiatives and vendor relationships that can be leveraged for church leadership training, church planting support, and campus ministry programs.
Funding opportunities With a recent $888K Lilly Endowment grant for church revitalization and an international disaster relief fund initiative, there are visible funding channels and grant-related programs that could be explored for programmatic partnerships, digital ministry solutions, and community resilience projects.
Leadership expansion Appointments like hiring a National Director of Church Planting signal growth and organizational transformation. This presents opportunities to offer church planting software, consulting services, training platforms, and project management tools tailored for expansion and leadership development.
Digital and media growth Launch of the podcast In All Things and active use of digital tools (WordPress, Site Kit, Google Tools) imply a focus on online outreach. Sales opportunities exist for podcast analytics, content management, website modernization, and audience engagement solutions.
Global mission reach Initiatives such as international disaster relief, global movement vision, and partnerships indicate a need for scalable collaboration platforms, donor management, and secure fundraising ecosystems that support multi-congregation coordination and international aid efforts.
