The Lyle M. Moffett Grant Fund
Funds Available to Qualifying Church or Mission Community
David Miller, chair
The purpose of the Moffett Grant Fund is to “empower congregations to be centers for mission through the task of diakonia: sending servant leaders to minister to the pain of a hurting world.”

Applications will receive consideration based on the following priorities:
  1. Small churches
  2. Ministries which use lay leadership
  3. Ministries which enhance the mission and the understanding of mission in the local congregation
  4. Mission Communities
  5. Other congregations within the presbytery
