It's
true! We can offer grants up to $200!
A generous
donor has offered Indiana- Kentucky Synod congregations the funds to support
new Bible study groups. This gift supports our synod's mission:
"Empowering,
Equipping and Encouraging
the People of God to make Christ known."
We invite
you to pursue the life of the missionary and learn to study the scripture
and share the faith with others. Through this generous gift and the power
of the Holy Spirit, your congregation can take new steps in "Making
Christ Known!"
Here's
how it works:
- Examine
the list of Bible study programs below. Explore the websites. (You may
also request funds for other programs besides those listed below.)
- Choose
one or two programs that you think would be a comfortable "fit"
for your congregation.
- Fill out
the application form
and fax or mail it to us. We will call you!
- Typically,
we will grant a portion of the costs associated with the program and
ask that your congregation pay the remainder.
- Funding
is available for as long as the money lasts, so do not wait to apply!
