Together for Transformation: How Orchard Alliance Is Helping Churches Grow in Biblical Financial Wisdom
At the Ron Blue Institute, we celebrate partnerships that help the Church become a center of financial wisdom. One such partnership is with Orchard Alliance, the Church Extension Fund for the Christian and Missionary Alliance (the C&MA) denomination.
Now in its third year of partnership with RBI, Orchard Alliance continues to expand its reach through a licensing agreement that allows it to white-label and co-brand financial wisdom content for use in C&MA churches nationwide and throughout the world.
Through this collaboration, Orchard Alliance is uniquely positioned to help churches integrate financial discipleship into their ministry, equipping pastors and congregations with practical, Scripture-based tools to demonstrate how our view of money and possessions influences our decisions and shapes our hearts.
This summer, the partnership took center stage at the C&MA’s biennial General Council in Columbus, Ohio. RBI joined Orchard in bringing biblical financial wisdom to denominational leaders and local pastors through breakout sessions and personal conversations.
Rich Todd, Senior Vice President for Ministry Development at Orchard, led a powerful seminar on establishing Financial Wisdom Ministries within local C&MA churches—an inspiring call for leaders to guide their congregations toward faithful stewardship and generosity.
Later in the week, Ron Blue participated in an invitation-only luncheon interview with Orchard president Scott Kubie. Their conversation encouraged ministry leaders to model biblical financial principles both personally and organizationally, creating ripple effects that can transform communities for generations.
As Orchard Alliance continues to serve churches throughout the C&MA, the Ron Blue Institute is grateful to support their mission of equipping the Church with resources that inspire lasting transformation through financial wisdom grounded in God’s Word.
Together, RBI and Orchard Alliance are showing how organizations and denominations can empower churches to become centers of financial wisdom. This partnership illustrates what’s possible when leaders commit to helping churches disciple their people around the topic of money and possessions.
