The Mission Coordinating Committee's Mission Grant program provides support to congregations as they reach beyond their walls to serve and transform their communities. Churches across our presbytery may apply for grants that will help make a tangible difference in the lives of their neighbors.
This grant program embodies the spirit of the PC(USA)'s Matthew 25 invitation, which calls us to active engagement in the world through bold acts of compassion, justice, and mercy. Whether your congregation is addressing hunger, supporting vulnerable populations, building partnerships for community transformation, or dismantling structural racism, we want to hear about your vision.
Who Can Apply
Any Presbytery of Lake Huron church can apply for a Mission Grant. Successful applications will be mission projects that seek to undertake one or more of the following:
- Address a genuine need in your community
- Serve neighbors beyond your congregation
- Reflect the Matthew 25 call to action
Both one-time initiatives and ongoing projects are welcome. We especially encourage applications that involve partnerships with other churches or community organizations.
The MCC meets monthly and will review applications on an ongoing basis. Grants over $5,000 require additional approval by the Presbytery Council. The application asks you to describe your project, explain the community need you're addressing, provide a budget, and outline how you'll evaluate your impact.
If your grant is approved, you will be asked to submit a follow-up report within six months and may have the opportunity to share your story with the wider presbytery.
