$20,000 given away annually to local ministries

Family ministry leaders, have you been dreaming about what you could do with some extra funds? Maybe you want to hire a student intern, fund your VBS, provide an ASL interpreter at your children’s ministry events, start a lending library with a diverse and inclusive faith book collection, or host a documentary viewing night with caregivers? Whatever your vision is for supporting faith formation in families, we want to hear about it!

Funds will be distributed to serve a variety of ministry projects, particularly those supporting marginalized families.
