The Mission of the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic is to engage in the ministry of Jesus Christ and the mission of the Presbyterian Church (USA) as described in the Great Ends of the Church by providing information, encouragement, and support in caring for its member presbyteries, congregations, and members.
The grant program in discussion, the Mid-Atlantic Older Adult Ministries Endowment Fund, is specifically aimed at supporting older adult ministries within the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic. This initiative is backed financially by the principal amount that is permanently held by the Presbyterian Foundation, with the generated income dedicated to the specified cause. The program demonstrates a targeted approach to funding, with a clear emphasis on aiding older adult ministries, highlighting a focus on a demographic that often requires specific attention and resources within community and faith-based activities.
