These grants are specifically designed to empower and support impactful ministries within the Christian Church in the Southwest. Our goal is to support growth and creative "out of the box" initiatives of local congregations, make disciples by engaging beyond our "walls," move beyond charity to changing communities, increase our Disciples presence, and ignite long-term change.  

We celebrate each of these awardees and extend our deepest gratitude to all applicants for their vision and commitment to ministry. Together, we are stepping forward in faith to support the work of God’s people!
