Partners in Ministry
Grants and funding are only part of the story
Obtaining a grant or other funding is one step towards the success of your project. To make funding work, you'll need to connect with people to properly plan, organize and execute the project. Here are some other PC(USA) offices and programs that can help.

Camps and Conference Ministries offer faith-filled encounters with Christ in a spiritually safe environment. True to our denominational Reformed tradition, campers get to experience the saving grace of God in a spirit-filled Christian community. By living their faith, campers get an opportunity to more fully integrate their faith into their daily lives.

All of these organizations believe colleges and universities are places “where God already is."
