Featured Supporter: Schmanke Media

This is the second in a series of posts we’re making to thank some of our special partners. We’d like to thank all of our donors for their generosity, and especially these stand-out supporters who have given above and beyond to our work and ministry. Thank you all!

Ben Schmanke was one of the earliest supporters of our Firm Foundation series. He knew about it before just about anybody else and has been instrumental in shaping the goals of the series as well as the way the series has been perceived and accepted. Indeed, Schmanke Media was responsible for scripting, directing, and producing the very Kickstarter video that helped us reach our monumental goal of raising $10,000 in 30 days. We are so thankful to God for Ben—for all of the time he has donated to “The Project,” his creative talents, and for believing in our Firm Foundation series even before we did.

Featured Supporter: Redeemer Fellowship

Redeemer Fellowship (Saint Charles, IL) is the church many of us call home, and we are so thankful for the support of its members and leadership. God has blessed us with not only their financial support, but their friendship, creative talents, business expertise, professional network, and community. We love you all.

From redeemerfellowship.org:

“Redeemer Fellowship is a gospel-centered church where we believe Christianity is better than a list of rules, and more than believing the right things. The Christian life is a life transformed by the gospel, experienced in community, and lived out for the glory of God and the good of our neighbors.”

A member of the the Acts 29 Network and the Southern Baptist Convention, Redeemer can be described as orthodox, evangelical, reformed, and baptist. But these only begin to describe who Redeemer is and hardly capture what makes this church unique. Joe Thorn and the rest of the elders and members have, by God’s grace, built a thriving community seeking to redeem culture to the glory of God—especially in the Fox Valley. At Redeemer, Christ is honored as its members (a good number of them creative professionals) seek to live out the gospel in all areas of life: at the table, from the pulpit, and in the public square.

Thank you for your generous support!
