There are grants available from a number of different sources that your congregation can apply for. Any congregation in the Metro D.C. Synod can apply for a New & Renewing Missions grant. Grants are more likely to be awarded to fund mission strategies that are innovative and more interactive with a congregation’s neighbors in a way that is contextually appropriate for the recipient congregation.
The grant proposal will be reviewed by the:
- Director for Evangelical Mission
- The New and Renewing Missions Table
- And possibly the Synod Council, depending on the source of funds and the size of the request.

Rostered Minister Sabbath Grants
Any rostered minister called to a congregation or organization of the Metro D.C. Synod is invited to apply for a Sabbath mini-grant to support personal rest and renewal. Rostered ministers are encouraged to take time off and away, ideally on a Sunday or other primary work days.
Campus Ministries Exploration & Growth Grants
Submit a grant request to support your congregation's efforts to explore and/or launch partnerships with local community, state, and private colleges or universities in ministry.
The hope is to continue to engage, be in dialogue with and walk alongside students during this special time in their lives in the name of Christ.
