Guidelines

1. Ministries may apply for any amount of funding, up to $25,000.

2. Ideally, a funded lab project would:
  • Be truly innovative—something completely different—something that hasn’t been done before (like what?—if we could answer that, it wouldn’t be a good idea!).
  • Be potentially replicable in other congregations or ministries.
  • Be sustainable with ministry resources after district funding ends.
  • Include a monetary investment from the ministry.
  • Utilize the resources of multiple members of the ministry.
  • Be connected to and supported by a congregation, school, or mission network of the Texas District.
  • Include a way within the first year to measure progress in catalyzing a mission movement (when disciples make disciples who make disciples and/or when congregations plant congregations that plant congregations).
3. Lab projects, should, of course, be consistent with the biblical and confessional principles of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and should be of a nature that reflects well on the district and its congregations.

4. It is expected that grant recipients will submit a report regarding the lab project according to the form and as requested by the Texas District. Failure to submit a report as requested will result in the ministry returning the money granted.
