Grants

There are various grants available to support and strengthen the ministries of our congregations, leaders, and communities. Through these resources, we aim to encourage innovation, nurture spiritual growth, and equip our churches to respond faithfully to the needs around them.

These grants are intended to foster collaboration, creativity, and connection—ideally encouraging partnerships with neighboring churches and community organizations. Technology upgrading grants are also available.

Center for Congregations

The Center for Congregations grant program is designed to help Indiana congregations fund and use the best resources to address their challenges and opportunities.

Lilly Sabbatical

The Lilly Endowment has supported opportunities for teachers, pastors, artists, human service workers, and youth workers to step away from their daily responsibilities for intentional reflection and renewal. These grants are rooted in a strong belief in the value of sabbatical—a dedicated time to restore physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual resources.
