Thank you for your support!
Serving Rural America
When you partner with DRN, your financial contribution goes to support rural pastors and congregations impact their communities and the Kingdom of God.
We strive to keep participation costs at a minimum to relieve the barrier of financial strain that many rural congregations face. The cost of our services to the pastor is 75% less than the cost similar organizations charge.
This map represents the locations DRN has served. There are many still to serve.
“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now”
Philippians 1:3-5

Why Partner with DRN?
When you partner with us you are supporting people who serve rural and small town pastors. Our team is fully committed to the vision of serving local congregations and leaders. You may personally know some of them and want to support their specific ministry.
Your partnership makes our unique ministry financially possible. The congregations and pastors we serve are usually not in a financial position to “buy” the ministry resources they need. Your partnership allows us to provide quality services to congregations that could not otherwise afford it. Your partnership provides a way for us to serve them.
Because you believe rural people matter and God puts it in your heart. We believe God has called us to lead a movement of rural and small-town missionaries and that every small-town deserves a life-giving, Bible-believing, community-transforming church. We invite people who resonate with this vision to partner with us.
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7

Molly is a Dirt Roads Network Missionary. She is following the call to bring the life-giving, transformative message of the Gospel to Clearwater Township in Northern Michigan. In the heart of Clearwater Township is the small town of Rapid City, MI. Part of the vision for the ministry to Rapid City is bringing transformation to their main street. To do this, Molly is seeking funding for the purchase of a property, which will then be transformed into a ministry center and supporting business where people can gather and find community as well as support and resources in a Christ-centered environment infused with the love, grace, and truth of Jesus.
