Applications sent out for congregations needing financial assistance

CANADA – Documents regarding application for Financial Assistance (Congregational Subsidies) were sent out to congregations last week. These documents can also be accessed on our website Here, under the Financial heading.

The deadline for applications to be submitted to your Circuit Counsellor is June 30, 2020. The deadline is set to facilitate review at the circuit level, by Regional Ministry and Mission Councils and the President’s Ministry Council, in time to include in Lutheran Church–Canada’s Board of Director’s budgeting discussions in November of this year. Please contact your Circuit Counsellor if your congregation is having difficulty meeting this deadline to discuss accommodation options.

“During all these discussions about funding needs, the real consideration is how best to provide Word and Sacrament ministry to the people of God. We trust the Lord to bless and guide our efforts in this process.” – Rev. M.L. Smith, Lutheran Church–Canada’s International and Domestic Missions Executive.
