Justice and Local Church Ministries of the United Church of Christ has decided to take a bold step in creating a common application that streamlines the granting process. The hope and goal is to ensure granting is made easier for congregations in the United Church of Christ and honor the intentions for funding in specific areas. 

The common application allows grantees to apply for four different funding sources offered through Justice and Local Church Ministries: Neighbors in Need, Operational Support, CASA: New and Rebirthing Churches and the Pension Board New Church Start.

• Watch the video and hear Rev. Dr. Aaron Wade, Minister for Congregation Granting, Scholarship and Leadership Development on the faith INFO team of Justice and Local Church Ministries (United Church of Christ, National Ministries), announce the launch of the common application for congregational grants for 2022 and answer some frequently asked questions.
