Sustaining Congregational ExcellenceThe Sustaining Congregational Excellence (SCE) program is predominantly for smaller congregations in the Christian Reformed Church in North America. (A smaller congregation is any congregation that has 150 adult professing members or less—based on data in the current Yearbook.) Congregations with 150 or more adult professing members are encouraged to partner with a smaller congregation in a Health & Renewal project. The SCE program has two main elements.
Grants: There are three grants available from SCE. 1. Coaching - These grants enable an SCE coach to walk alongside a congregation as they explore issues specific to their ministry. Submitting a grant application doesn't mean a congregation is unhealthy; it means that it desires to look into ways, with a coach, to renew or refresh its vision and/or its ministries. DEADLINES: Application due dates are March 1 and September 1. English

2. Health & Renewal - These grants encourage congregations to think creatively about how they can nurture the health of their congregation and how they can impact the community in which they minister. Submitting a grant application doesn't mean a congregation is unhealthy; it means that it wants to renew or refresh its ministries. DEADLINES: Application due dates are June 1 and December 1.

3. Technology & Equipment - These grants are available for churches to purchase, lease or update technology and equipment resources for their congregations. Resources can include a computer, copies, telephone, answering machine, hearing assistance equipment, fax machine, sound system, power point projector, or other equipment that will assist the congregation in its ministry. DEADLINE: the first of every month. EnglishKorean -
