Igniting Ministry
The denomination's Igniting Ministry office in Nashville is now accepting applications for advertising grants that will benefit churches in the upcoming back-to-school and advent seasons.
United Methodist Communications offers $1 million in matching funds annually to local churches, districts and conferences to help establish an advertising presence in their community. Matching funds can be used for placing television, radio, cinema, outdoor media or a combination of these media types. The application period closes June 1, 2005. For more information, visit www.ignitingministry.org (click on "Matching Grants Open") or call 1 (877) 281-6535.
Renfro Trust
Rural churches seeking to repair or to build new facilities may be eligible for up to $5,000 in grants from the Renfro Trust Fund. The application deadline is Sept. 1, 2005. Parsonages are excluded from this grant opportunity.
In 2004, 60 percent of Renfro applications from Holston churches were rejected because of inadequate preparation. Church leaders may receive aid in preparing applications by submitting completed or partially completed applications at the Annual Conference registration desk by 5 p.m., Monday, June 13, in Lake Junaluska, N.C. For more information and an application, visit www.holston.org/missions.
