As your congregation discerns new and vibrant ways to live out your mission, we are here to partner with you in this Spirit-filled work.
Congregation Partnership Grants
The New and Renewing Mission Table encourages congregations to seek out ways to dream up partnerships with local communities of faith!
This grant will allow you to experiment, explore, take risks, build relationships, and see what happens!

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.
