Mustard Seed Funding
A project fund is available to those seeking funding between £1k- £8K over a maximum of three years and is aimed at assisting a Parish/Benefice in delivering a specific missional event or to pump prime a missional idea, which could grow into something bigger. The application process is straightforward, with the bid being considered by the relevant Archdeacon and the Diocesan Secretary.
