The Synod of the Covenant is delighted to announce that it has awarded $50,000 in grants to eleven congregations and ministries in over 5 presbyteries. The focus of the grants (which range from $2,400 to $5,000) is to support ministries to build congregational vitality, dismantle structural racism, and/or eradicate systemic poverty. These goals stem from the denomination’s Matthew 25 movement. Of 23 grant applications, 11 were awarded funds.
