Rural Churches Invited to Apply for Connect Church Cohort
Connect Church increases community engagement through coaching, resources, and grant assistance
Are you a member of a church that might be interested in creating a new missional engagement project?
The Rural Center's Connect Church program, led by our Faith in Rural Communities (FIRC) team, is accepting applications for the 2027 cohort of Connect Church through July 31.
Connect Church is a year-long coaching program that helps churches discover and then create missional engagement projects. Upon program completion, churches can apply for a grant up to $10,000 to launch their new project. These grants, worth $25,000 in coaching and resources, are available for free thanks to generous funding from our partners.
Our FIRC team has guided over 100 churches and faith groups through the Connect Church curriculum, and we're excited to receive applications for our next program cohort!
