2009 Congregational Development Grants
Application Deadline: Wednesday September 23
The Congregational Development Committee is accepting grant applications for Cooperative Ministry projects.
We are seeking to promote congregational partnerships in mission and ministry. Grants are available to two or more congregations who work together to revitalize congregational life. Non-PCUSA congregations may be included.
To qualify for a grant, at least one partner should have an average of fewer than 100 attending Sunday morning worship. Preference is shown to new partnerships.
PLUS a special opportunity for small churches (fewer than 100 attending Sunday worship) for capital projects.
Mission contributions by churches to the Presbytery make these grants possible.
