Local Church Grant 2026
Ends on
Equipping the Local Church grants of up to $5,000 will be awarded to small* church congregations, and grants of up to $10,000 will be awarded to medium** congregations (or clusters of churches working together) within the Wesleyan Tradition**. The grant is intended to help launch an experiment or initiative to share the Gospel in word and deed, build relationships, and invite others into a discipleship journey with Jesus.
Any church or group of churches fitting the criteria may submit a letter of intent. Grants will be awarded in the summer of 2026. The Foundation for Evangelism Equipping the Local Church grant initiative seeks to empower pastors, laity, and smaller local congregations to dream, take risks, and partner with God in the transformation of lives and communities. These grants are made possible through the generosity of donors, friends, and partners with The Foundation for Evangelism.
