Healthy Congregations Grants

Healthy Congregations Grants were one-time grants of up to $5,000 to start or expand comprehensive ministries of health and wellness in local United Methodist congregations. Projects funded emphasized wellness, prevention, volunteer caregiving, social support, and congregational health education and awareness.

Since the beginning of the grant program in 2002 through its conclusion in 2008, the Health Fund awarded 44 grants totaling over $195,000 to support health ministries in United Methodist churches across Kansas. The HC Grants program has been superseded by the new Healthy Congregations Covenant program.
