Calvin Institute of Christian Worship: Grants Program
A month ago, this email from the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship landed in my email box, asking that I “help us spread the word about this opportunity.” It may be too late for our readers to consider applying for a grant that is due June 15, but it’s not too early to start the grant process for the fall deadline, October 15. Here’s the text of the email from CICW:
We are excited to remind you about the

Vital Worship, Vital Preaching Grants Program
This thoughtful and vibrant program is for Teacher-Scholars and Worshiping Communities based in Canada and the United States, and seeks to foster, strengthen, and sustain well-grounded public worship.
The next due date for grant applications is June 15, 2024.
We encourage you to consider applying.
We welcome grant proposals on a wide range of Christian worship practices, especially proposals related to universal design, cultural engagement, preaching, baptism, and the Eucharist/Lord’s Supper.
Kent and I had two fantastic experiences as grant recipients of CICW. The CICW grants team is eager to work with congregations, Christian universities and seminaries, health care facilities, and scholars to support the public worship life of the Church. The CICW website has all the criteria upfront, gives access to the complete grant proposal requirements, and the online grant form is very user-friendly. One can write a portion and save the work over weeks and months.
We give thanks to God for our friends at CICW!
