“I’m so thankful for the ministry of Geneva! Their guidance helped us through [the call package] process, and they made it possible for the church to call me as their pastor.”
Sabbatical Matching Grants
In partnership with the Lilly Endowment’s Economic Challenges Facing Pastoral Leaders, we piloted a sabbatical matching program with 4 churches, providing $40,000 in matching funds. In turn, we were able to approve 10 additional under-served churches for grants in 2024.
