Let us congratulate the following Pastors and congregations on receiving the 2023 Local Church Grant from the Foundation for Evangelism.
The Foundation for Evangelism has selected 51 churches and organizations to receive an Equipping the Local Church grant. A total of $350,000 will be distributed through $5,000, $7,500, and $10,000 micro-grants to small and medium-sized Wesleyan tradition* churches and church-based organizations. The focus of the grant is to launch an experiment or initiative to share the Gospel, tell their faith stories, and invite others into a relationship with Jesus alongside a local faith community. The recipients are from 9 Wesleyan-tradition denominations across 24 states. Proposed projects range from children’s after-school programs to experiments with local community participation (Foundation for Evangelism).
