The Office for Congregations and Christian Formation is offering two grants to fund your ministry, outreach, and evangelism to and with young adults.
The
College Ministry Grant application is due on
July 31 and funds campus ministry. While the near future of campus life is unknown, we can still minister to and with our student communities.
The
Young Adult Ministry Grant, funded by the United Thank Offering (UTO) and distributed by the Diocesan Young Adult Task Force, is a new grant to encourage parishes, mission areas, etc. to experiment and take bold action to attract and engage young adults (19-30). Applications will be reviewed monthly, and funds must be used by May 2021. Members of the task force are available to brainstorm with you, and have included some ideas in the grant application.

August 12 at 6:00 p.m. which will include a conversation with the
veterinarian who treats our Bellwether animals! Visit the
website to get more information, register, and learn why this book is so beloved by our Bishop
