Congregations open up their buildings to serve children, the hungry, the homeless and others in need. Sacred places stabilize neighborhoods, strengthen commercial districts and significantly add to the economic health of our communities. All of this is endangered, however, when congregations can no longer afford to maintain these aging buildings. Partners has developed a family of highly-acclaimed resources to help congregations connect better to their communities, raise capital funds in new ways and preserve their historic building for future generations. We are the nation's only non-sectarian, nonprofit organization dedicated the sound stewardship and active community use of America's older religious properties.

Texas Kudos for New Dollars/New Partners Training!

This signature PSP training is having an enormous impact in the Lone Star State. Listen to what some participants have to say. 

“The information we gained is having an ongoing impact in the life of our church. We are increasingly viewing our building as an asset to our community, not just a liability that drains resources from other ministry areas. We have shifted from a reactive to a proactive approach in seeking partnerships and resources. Our leadership is grateful for the opportunity to participate in New Dollars/New Partners. Fruit is being produced with more expected in the future!” - Rev. Monte Marshall, Senior Pastor, Travis Park United Methodist Church, San Antonio, Texas 

"The time we spent with New Dollars/New Partners was so worthwhile. They provided a road map for our future." Sharon Guerrro, Elder, Divine Redeemer Presbyterian, San Antonio, Texas

"Partners for Sacred Places gave us inspiration and practical support as we discovered ways to ensure that our 100 year-old church would shine the light of God's love in our community long into the future. The program provided a structure from which to form a vision and create a path of action.” -  Pastor Jorge Zayasbazan, Baptist Temple, San Antonio, Texas
