Rev. Dr. Heather Lear, Vice President for Grant Administration shared, “This year, our Equipping the Local Church grants will be received across 25 states and 8 Wesleyan-tradition** denominations. In four years, we've awarded over 1 million dollars to help small and medium churches launch evangelism experiments.”
The selected proposals reflect an array of initiatives, each uniquely tailored to a holistic vision for evangelism that invites people to engage in a transformative relationship with Jesus Christ and addresses specific community needs. These applicants aim to foster sustainable change that enriches individuals, congregations, and local communities by providing practical solutions to physical needs while offering Christian guidance and belonging.
The Equipping the Local Church Grant builds upon The Foundation for Evangelism’s 76-year history as a catalyst to equip disciples to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. The goal of the grant is to empower pastors, laity, and churches with under 250 participants to dream, take risks, and partner with God in the transformation of lives and communities.
A total of $375,000 will be distributed through $5,000 and $10,000 micro-grants to small and medium sized Wesleyan-tradition churches and church-based organizations that launch an experiment or initiative to share the Gospel, tell their faith stories, and invite others into a relationship with Jesus.
We congratulate the 2025 recipients of the Equipping the Local Church Grant and can't wait to share stories from their initiatives.
