The Synod Leader Grant Team meets four times per year to allocate grants through an application process for synod leaders and future leaders of the church. We focus on four areas of clergy/church life: Seminary Scholarships, 1st Call Debt Reduction, Continuing Education, and Sabbaticals. Supporting the health and wellness of our church leaders through grants and scholarships is a top priority for our team.
