Growth Fund

The Synod Growth Investment Fund has been established to invest in strategic initiatives that support the Future Directions strategy to see the Uniting Church become a contemporary, courageous and growing church through providing Growth Investment Grants.

The Synod seeks to support a small number of projects each year through the Synod Growth Investment Fund that will help the Uniting Church grow in discipleship, relationship, number and impact. It gives congregations the opportunity to apply for funding to support growth and to inspire genuine renewal.

The Synod Growth Fund is supported through the Seeds of Growth contribution made by Congregations and Presbyteries. God is calling us to become a contemporary, courageous, growing Church proclaiming Jesus Christ in worship, witness and service. This is the vision statement from the Future Directions which will guide the Synod into the future.
