Forward Together In Faith Grants 2024-2025
It’s time again to apply for grants to support new initiatives and ministries that support the emphases of the Forward Together in Faith Campaign.
These grants, drawn from interest earned by the principal of the campaign, will support new projects that help network congregations, leaders and community partners, innovate new forms of ministry and/or communities of faith, communicate through digital channels, and equip lay and rostered ministers (including seminarians). Examples can include:
Networking: Creating and sustaining new networks and partnerships among congregations and leaders. Building bridges within the synod, and with other community partners.
Innovating: Prioritizing piloting new forms of ministry and planting new communities of faith, particularly among underserved populations. Supporting worship, faith formation, and community service.
Communicating: Training/consulting for websites, social media, and use of other forms of media (e.g. video). Equipping the communication needs for events for communities, multiple congregations, and/or the larger synod.
Equipping: Training for lay leaders, mission/outreach based continuing education for rostered leaders, supporting seminarians.
