NBA Disciples Mission Fund Resources for Easter Offering

April 11, 2025 | by NBA Cares

Learn more about supporting general ministries through Disciples Mission Fund, and find materials and resources available for your congregation’s Special Day Offerings for Easter. The National Benevolent Association and our fellow general ministries are grateful for your support!

Easter Offering for General Ministries

The Easter Offering provides support for the general ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). These ministries operate across the U.S. and Canada, as well as around the world. Through care, service, and advocacy for others, general ministries partner with regions to strengthen congregations – sharing resources, stories, and worship, for the mission of the church. The 2025 Easter Offering will take place on two Sundays, April 13 & 20, 2025.  

The NBA receives more than $181,000 annually from Disciples Mission Fund allocations. This funding helps support our collaborative mission work with Disciples health and social service ministries: training leaders, launching social justice entrepreneurs and focusing on mental health and wellness. 

What is Disciples Mission Fund?

Disciples Mission Fund (DMF) (DMF) brings the whole Church together, connecting us to the life-giving and life-saving work Disciples are called to do. DMF supports local ministries throughout the regions, as well as those around the globe. This common funding system enables all congregations to fund one system that shares resources across the life of the church. Learn more >>

Individuals and congregations can give to Disciples Mission Fund at any time throughout the year, but many choose to contribute through Special Day Offerings. These Special Day Offerings allow Disciples to give with specific intention six times during the year. Both congregations and individuals provide these over-and-above gifts in support of designated ministries. Learn more >>
