2008 New Covenant Recipients |
|
The Synod of the Covenant has awarded funds to 10 ministries as part of its New Covenant grant program. New Covenant grants are funded from shared mission dollars received from presbyteries, who receive the money from congregations. Thirty-five applications were received for funds. The program was designed to encourage new, emerging or revitalized ministries within the bounds of the synod. Projects were required to fit within one of the three synod mission priorities: congregational transformation and development; multicultural, racial ethnic and justice ministries or ministries in higher education.
