PSWD District News:
Grants are available through the District to Support your ministry goals:
The Pacific Southwest District is blessed with resources to offer a variety of grants or partnership funds to help your church grow in their ministry. Below are just a few of the kinds offered, and you can learn more by visiting here at the district website.
Jesus in the Neighborhood - Churches can request up to two $500 grants each year to assist and encourage congregations to try something that will share Jesus in your community with relationship-based neighborhood engagement. A recent grant will support a church doing "Taco Sundays" over the next few months to meet their neighbors. What's your idea?
Ministry Partnership Funds - These funds can allow the district to partner with you, either in getting coaching or training for a group from your congregation, or launching a new ministry idea, or mission church grants that support churches in high poverty areas.
If you have an idea, reach out to Russ and we will see how we might partner as you share the good news in your community.
