Grace Lutheran Church (Bellevue), gave the synod council a percentage of their proceeds when they closed their ministry in 2019. The synod council, in turn, launched a 3-year Grace Grants program to invest $100,000 grants each year to congregations and ministry sites doing faithful innovation in one or more of four focus areas.
We rejoice that we were able to extend the grants for a fourth year!
This year’s focus areas were Ministry Innovation, Equity and Justice for Marginalized Communities, Community Inclusion and Belonging, and Youth & Young Adult.
