We are committed to saturating our region with the Good News of Jesus and we know we share that commitment with many other ministries. We wanted to come alongside and partner with those ministries to support their Kingdom efforts because we believe that God is deeply and powerfully moving through those efforts. With that desire, grants were awarded to a number of partners to support them in this common mission. 

Here is what Community of Grace had to share about the grant awarded to them:

"We are using our grant money for training and developing men for pastoral ministry in our church. 

The grant has helped us create a cohort of seven men who are meeting together each month for study, prayer, and training. We are studying key texts of Scripture around pastoral ministry and reading some pastoral theology together (ex. Charles Spurgeon's famous 'Lectures To My Students'). Each month we are sharing a meal together and taking time to pray for one another. We are anticipating that this year of training will not only strengthen our local church but will be equipping men who can lead beyond our church walls."
