The 2020/21 New Ministries Grant Application is now available to download via the button below and on the New Ministries page of the California-Pacific Conference website.

Given our New Ministries resources this year, priority will be given applications that show a clear path of partnership with the local church, District Offices, other sources of funding, and lastly, New Ministries Grant funding.

All funding requests must first be submitted to the applying ministry’s District Planning and Strategy (DPAS) Committee for review and recommendation to the New Ministries EMT.

It is strongly recommended that brand new ministry ideas without any track record consider applying for a Micro-grant up to $5000.00 to test the potential and viability of the new ministry idea.

The Grant application deadline to District Offices is August 31, 2019.

Please be mindful of the due dates and send any questions about the New Ministries Grant Application to Rev. Eric Schmidt (umcpastorschmidt@gmail.com), NM EMT Chairperson, with a copy to Rev. Anthony Boger (aboger@calpacumc.org), Associate Director for New Ministries.
