The Center for Congregations aims to strengthen Indiana congregations by helping them connect with the best resources to address their unique challenges and opportunities. This mission is pursued through offering grants, resource consulting, educational programs, and compiling the Congregational Resource Guide (CRG).
The grant program by the Center for Congregations is crafted to support Indiana congregations in finding and using resources effectively to tackle their specific needs and growth plans. This initiative allows for congregations to procure a matching grant of up to $25,000, which can be utilized for a wide array of expenses, resources, and activities. Funded by the Lilly Endowment Inc., this program stands as a key pillar of the Center's commitment to enhancing the capabilities and reach of congregational communities in Indiana.
