Grant Application Submission Deadlines for 2023

February 1, May 1 and September 1
 

In August of 2020, the North Georgia Annual Conference approved a new committee with an important task: to distribute funds from the sale of closed church property in an equitable, accountable manner to fund ministry initiatives across all eight districts. Today that committee has a robust process in place for granting funds. Learn about the process in the video above.
