Overview:

Growing in Faith Grant 2026

The Growing in Faith Grant is an opportunity for our congregations across the Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin to explore new ways of nurturing faith and learning together. Beginning in Fall 2026, these grants will support faith formation for children, youth, and adults, with room for each congregation to consider what would be most meaningful in its own community.

Funding might support new curriculum, resources for a formation space, workshop materials, guest speakers, or other creative approaches to learning and growing in faith. The hope is simple: to give congregations a little extra support as they create opportunities for people of all ages to deepen their faith, ask good questions, and grow together in Christian community.
