Town and Rural PACK Grant

The PACK (Planned Act of Christian Kindness) Grant is meant to support churches' work to be a blessing to those in the neighboring community to show them the love of Jesus Christ. Awards range from $100 to $500. PACK grants are intended to empower small town and rural churches, outside of metropolitan and suburban areas.

Recipients are requested to present their ministries at the Keagy Festival held in fall so that churches can share what God did through them and encourage one another.

For more information about the grant, contact Rev. Libby Rutherford, chair of the Keagy/Town and Rural Committee.

Deadline to apply: March 31
