The Greenwood District Connectional Ministries offers assistance to local churches with grants up to $500 for the purpose of beginning or expanding existing ministries. This application is designed for district-wide opportunities in the areas of leadership, discipleship, outreach, and advocacy that will engage, equip, empower, and enhance our ability to be fruitful in making more disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Applications should address at least one of the Four Priorities of the
Conference: 1) Developing Leaders; 2) Engaging Communities; 3) Connecting with and Growing Disciples; 4) Measuring and Evaluating Current Realities and Missional Possibilities. The connection to one or more of the Four Priorities must be included in the Project Description.
Consideration will be given to all applications, especially those that involve, but not limited, to:
ï‚· District programs and events arising from the needs of the churches in the district;
ï‚· District Leadership Training;
ï‚· Local church leadership training;
ï‚· Local church program ministry that helps make disciples or engage the community;
ï‚· Cooperative ministry efforts between district churches and interdenominational projects;
ï‚· Advertising events;
ï‚· Speakers for district events.
Recipients of grants are required to submit to the committee receipts and a brief account of how funds were used and
the impact the grant program had on ministry, mission, and community. Funds should be spent within one year of the
award.
