The George Cripe
Legacy Foundation
The Timothy and Titus Fund
For Church Revitalization

Carrying Forward a Legacy of Faithful Shepherding
The George Cripe Legacy Foundation, also known as The Timothy and Titus Fund exists to carry forward the passion and vision of church revitalization that had captured Pastor George Cripe's heart. He believed deeply that God’s work is not only in planting new churches, but also in revitalizing struggling congregations—restoring them to health, strength, and gospel fruitfulness.
This foundation serves as a living legacy: honoring his ministry by fueling the work of church revitalization across America.
Why Church Revitalization?
All across our nation, thousands of churches are closing their doors each year. Many congregations that once thrived are now struggling—lacking vision, leadership, or resources. The Timothy and Titus Foundation exists to answer this crisis with hope, help, and health for local churches.
Where some see decline, we see opportunity:
-
Opportunity to restore gospel light in communities.
-
Opportunity to encourage weary pastors and leaders.
-
Opportunity to see God’s people revived and strengthened.
Revitalization is not about reclaiming former glory—it’s about renewed health, faithfulness, and fruit for the glory of Christ.
The Mission of the Foundation
Your gifts to the Timothy and Titus Foundation provide:
-
Training and Resources for pastors engaged in revitalization.
-
Strategic Support for churches in critical transition.
-
Scholarships and Tools for leaders pursuing biblical church health.
-
Sustainable Funding for projects that breathe life back into struggling congregations.
In short, every dollar given is directly invested into equipping leaders and renewing churches.
The Name: Timothy and Titus
In Scripture, Paul sent Timothy and Titus to strengthen and stabilize young, struggling churches. Their ministries were not glamorous but were vital to the health of the early church. This foundation bears their name because the same work continues today: faithful men serving to restore and shepherd Christ’s flock.

We believe God is raising up both churches and generous partners to sustain this work. You can join in by:
-

Whether you are an individual with means, a business, or a church looking to multiply your impact, your investment directly strengthens the body of Christ.
A Call to Action
America does not need more abandoned sanctuaries—it needs renewed churches filled with renewed people. The Timothy and Titus Fund is positioned to help make that vision a reality.
Will you join us?
Together, we can strengthen the things that remain (Revelation 3:2) and see God glorified through healthy, thriving churches once again.
