Pacific Northwest Conference WM
Faith and Outreach Grant
Application Form
“The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.”(Isaiah 58: 11-12)
In April 2005, God called NPC WOMEN MINISTRIES to initiate Faith and Outreach Grants to minister to our neighbors with the love of Jesus Christ.
Faith and Outreach Grants are for the purpose of providing start-up funds at the local level for new ministries in Covenant churches and communities in the Pacific Northwest Conference that reach out with the Good News of Jesus Christ and His Amazing Love. This seed grant is designed to launch new ministries or to add a new component to an existing ministry that reflects the vision of Women Ministries of the Evangelical Covenant Church. The vision of WM continues to be focused on building up the Kingdom of God. When we are able to meet practical and spiritual needs in our churches and communities, God’s Kingdom is advanced.
Priority will be given to applications that exhibit clear plans to sustain their ministry beyond the seed grant year. Grants shall not exceed $500 per ministry project and may be renewable for a second year on a case-by-case basis, as funds are available.
