The mission of the Church Development Team (CDT) is two-fold: to assist in creating New Faith Communities and to support the work of vitality in existing churches. The CDT works to achieve this mission through the following areas:
Currently, leadership grants include support of Next Level Innovations as well as local church initiatives to increase the Church’s outreach to the unchurched and dechurched.
In support of the CDT mission, the team accepts applications for New Faith Communities and Leadership Grants four times each year. Applications are due January 1, March 1, October 1 and November 1. New Faith Community and Leadership Applications should be submitted to Amanda Garber, Conference Director of Missional and Community Engagement, [email protected].
For additional information or questions, please contact Amanda Garber, [email protected] or Stephanie Kimec-Parker, [email protected].
