The Missions and Ministries Commission on the recommendation of the Mission Working Group is pleased to announce the 2026 Innovation Grant awardees. These grantees represent a diverse range of ministries focused on community transformation, spiritual growth, leadership development, and relational outreach across the Synod of the Northeast.
The Synod of the Northeast's Emerging Gospel Community Grant is designed to support innovative, relationship-centered ministries that bring the love of Jesus Christ into the world in fresh and meaningful ways.
The Synod of the Northeast is renewing its commitment to investing in the leaders who shape the life of the Church—today and for generations to come.
The Synod of the Northeast’s Mission Working Group prayerfully and thoughtfully evaluated fifteen grant applications, ultimately recommending more than $60,000 in strategic investments to support Campus Ministry and Youth and Young Adult Leadership Development initiatives across the Synod region.
We are thrilled to announce that the 2026 Grant Application cycle will officially open on January 15, 2026. All application materials are now available in English, Spanish, and Korean!
The Synod of the Northeast recognizes financial hardships have greatly affected some presbyteries and they are not able to adequately support congregations and pastors. The Synod Commission on April 30, 2022, voted to designate 200k from the budget for the next three years to provide needs-based support grants.
