New Congregation Grant Application

New church development is the establishment of a new ministry under the direction of the presbytery. A new congregation develops as a response by a presbytery to the needs of a new group of persons (emerging generation, new immigrant group, population growth). The ultimate goal is to grow a viable, sustained and significant ministry within the life of that presbytery, which may lead to a chartered congregation.

Existing Congregation Grant Application

Transformation of an existing congregation is the redirection of its ministry in light of significant changes among its membership, the community to be served, or both. Transformation includes a planned effort and intent to refocus the congregation’s ministry, under the direction of the presbytery. Transformation is about disrupting the current cycle of a congregation’s life in order to intentionally bring about change.
