The Fund for Church Growth
The Fund for Church Growth exists to directly assist and develop the ministry and mission of the church at all levels (Parish/LMG/Deanery/Diocese), by offering financial support to projects and posts in the form of grants and loans.
The types of projects supported by the Fund include:
- employment of youth workers, lay workers, chaplains, mission advisers
- establishment of church cafés
- re-ordering buildings to enhance or develop local mission
- pensioners’ lunch clubs.
Wherever possible and appropriate, ecumenical involvement should be encouraged.
Applications
All applications will be considered on merit and weighed against other current applications. Applicants will need to clearly show how the project will add to the mission and witness of the church. Please note that loans may be offered in respect of repair projects but grants are not available for this purpose.
