Episode 53 “Microgrants for Ministries” features EOC Strategic Ministries director the Rev. Beth Ortiz sharing about the process of applying for microgrants that can assist in funding creative ministries with the community.

Churches looking to launch a new ministry to reach people outside the church community can apply for an EOC Board of Congregational Development microgrant up to $2,000.

Microgrants are an encouragement for congregations to experiment with new ministries that reach beyond church walls out into the community. It’s there meeting people where they are that the Church can make a difference by introducing new people to Jesus Christ.

Ortiz encourages churches to “look at the community around you and rejoice in who they are and reach them as they are now.”
