“Benevolence ministry was something that always bothered me. Was I doing enough? Was I actually helping or just enabling? Isn’t there a better way to do this? Since we began partnering with OneNeed, all those questions have been answered…"
"…For the first time, I feel like we are doing this well and I am at peace about what we provide in this area of ministry,” says Dr. Tom Tanner, Lead Pastor, RiverStone Church.
He and other ministry leaders say OneNeed gives churches the tools to make benevolence easy and to serve their communities with generosity and hope. As people reach out to their churches, OneNeed helps them answer and serve them in the best way possible.
“Like most churches, we have a small staff relative to the number of people we serve, and we all wear many hats. OneNeed gives us peace of mind in knowing that anyone who comes to our church looking for help will receive a call in a timely manner, have an opportunity to share their story, and feel loved. It often works out that OneNeed is able to distribute more funds to people in need than our annual contribution to the ministry,” says Kit Stevens, MoneyWise Director, Buckhead Church.
When a person submits a financial need through a church, OneNeed speaks with them and determines the best course of action.
“OneNeed has been a game changer for our Care Ministry here at Passion City Church. Not only are they able to raise financial assistance for people in our local church, but they also reach out to each and every person with love and encouragement, while also shooting straight with them about their current financial crisis. We believe that OneNeed sees the person before the need, and that means everything to us here at PCC, and to our community,” says Matt Carter, Care Pastor, Passion City Church.
OneNeed’s generous nationwide donor network receives alerts for vetted needs and raises 100% of the money for each request so the church doesn’t need to raise funds. Churches deliver financial relief and minister to the person in need.
