Vital Worship Grants
The Calvin Institute of Christian Worship will fund 25 Vital Worship Grants projects to Worshiping Communities for 2022-2023 as part of its Vital Worship Grants Program. The application deadline is October 1. These projects have a variety of emphases, many of which have been shaped by nearly two years of adapting ministry in light of a pandemic. In addition to projects that engage Scripture, focus on music and singing, and promote practices of hospitality in and through worship. These projects all have as a common purpose a desire to both deepen people’s understanding of worship and strengthen practices of public worship and faith formation.
