Small Church, Big Win Grant - Presbytery of East Tennessee

Small Church Big Win Grant

The Congregational Relations and Development Committee discerned great opportunities for financial support in the PET during the Technology Grant period of 2023. The Technology Grants were funded by a Synod Grant from the Synod of the Living Waters (and subsidized by the operational budget of the CRDT). Moving into 2024, the team did not have a fraction of the financial resources available but realized that many more needs were present in the PET. In Spring 2024, the team decided to make their operational budget available through grants to meet the ministry needs of both parish and non-parish ministries in the Presbytery. Unlike the technology grant, this grant series is not limited to technology or capital but can be any item/service/capital to meet an emerging ministry need that might be inhibited by financial need.

Grant Parameters: CRDT invites PET members to discern emerging ministry opportunities that may be hindered by financial circumstance (this can be capital, personnel/services/items/consulting/etc.). These parameters are purposefully open to allow for congregations to discern ministry paths to which they feel called by the Spirit but, due to financial constraints, may be difficult execute.

Grants will be awarded to help meet or begin to meet these ministry goals. CRDT will receive and review applications from all ministries but will prioritize ministries of less than 200 members as well as ministries who did not receive a grant in 2023. We invite all to discern and apply. The application will be available on the PET website.

Grant Amounts: Congregational Relations and Development Committee will award FOUR – $1000 grants to churches and non-parish ministries in the PET.
