Why We Exist
x245 Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to address the challenges that high housing costs in the Bay Area create for Peninsula Bible Church’s ability to recruit and retain pastoral staff. While independent from PBC, our mission is closely aligned with and in service to the church’s ministry. By supporting pastoral housing, we aim to strengthen church leadership, enable long-term ministry, and provide lasting benefit to the community.
How We Make An Impact
We work in partnership with the Elders to provide pastors with access to stable, affordable housing, enabling them to live and serve within the communities they shepherd. Guided by the Elders, we prioritize and execute projects that directly support this mission, which may include purchasing homes or establishing co-ownership agreements for pastoral residences.
In addition, x245 Foundation facilitates charitable giving by providing tax-qualified vehicles for testamentary and deferred gifts, helping donors make a meaningful and lasting impact on the church and its ministry.
And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.
