The Sower's Project of MNYS is currently accepting applications. The Sower’s Project is a synod-wide initiative to seed grassroots ministries in our communities, and encourage them to grow and thrive. We encourage anyone in the synod, lay or rostered, to propose a ministry idea or project that helps share the Good News of God’s love with groups of people not currently served by the Church and that creates opportunities for those folks to connect to or form Christian communities.

A GREAT EVENING
TO BE CHURCH TOGETHER

“Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the New York State Council of Churches annual awards to see our developer, Rev. Aaron Baughman receive the award for Excellence in Ecumenism. Pastor Baughman gave many thanks to the leadership of the Metropolitan New York Synod for the mission work in the Port Jervis area. It was a great evening to be church together.”—
