Give to Strengthen Rural Churches

Rural churches don’t need handouts.

They need shepherds, training, and support.

Your generosity helps make that happen.

The Brainerd Institute exists to equip the saints to lead healthy churches in places most people overlook. Every dollar you give goes toward raising up pastors, walking with leaders, and lighting up forgotten places with the gospel of Christ.

Your gift helps us:

  • Train residents for long-term rural ministry

  • Lead cohorts for pastors, leadership teams, and ministry wives

  • Provide resources, gatherings, and support for struggling churches

  • Multiply gospel presence in counties with little or no witness

Please note that in accordance with IRS regulations, contributions are solicited with the understanding that the Brainerd Institute has complete discretion and control over the use of all donated funds. The Brainerd Institute will make every attempt to honor donor preferences; however, donors explicitly release the Brainerd Institute from any restrictions on how those funds are spent.

  • One-time gift

  • Monthly support
