Bold Moves

The Bold Moves Grant Program is a means for Community of Christ members and congregations of the Greater Pacific Northwest Mission Center to seek financial assistance in the development of new and more effective ways to express the church’s mission to proclaim Jesus Christ and promote communities of joy, hope, love and peace.

Grants are available to provide “seed money” as supplemental financial support in establishing church plants, church re-plants, or new ministries that will conceptually reach new populations and age groups, reach people where they are and meet their needs, and create new expressions of the hospitality of Jesus Christ in Mission Center areas. The Bold Moves Grant is not intended to be the sole funding source for any project or program.

By Resolution of the 2007 Mission Center conference, a total annual sum of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) is made available to distribute in the form of grant awards. Applications for grants are submitted to and reviewed by the Bold Moves Grants Committee, who determine both those awarded grants and the amounts awarded. Additionally, the Committee establishes the application guidelines and procedures and assists in evaluating the success of each grant once it has been implemented. The committee is composed of the Mission Center President, the Mission Center Financial Officer, the Mission Center Mission Coordinator, and members from within the Mission Center as appointed by the Mission Center President: to include one member of the Mission Center Council, one member of the Mission Center Finance Committee, one member of the Quorum of Seventy, and, at least, one member at large.
