Raise Funds For Ministry Through the Episcopal Media Center

 

The Episcopal Media Center is providing an easy way for congregations to raise funds for mission and ministry with their extensive line of Episcopal-branded products that can be shipped to parishes on consignment and sold as the parish wishes. What is not sold can be returned with the parish keeping the profit. In other words, with no out of pocket investment, a parish can offer quality Episcopal goods that help build community and broadcast our Church's name.

 

To learn more, visit the EpiscopalMarketplace.org website, where you will find all of the items as well as other offerings of the Episcopal Media Center, Episcopal Relief & Development, the United Thank Offering and the "Episcopal Church Welcomes You" signs.
