Southeastern District, LCMS
Circuit Ablaze! Grants

The overarching goal of the Circuit Ablaze! Grant is to support the development and initiation of:
New missions reaching the unreached and/or the uncommitted with the Gospel of Jesus Christ within the geographical boundaries of the Southeastern District.
New ministry outreach efforts that are intentionally reaching out to people not currently being served by the congregation.

Congregations may apply for a Circuit Ablaze! grant after July 15. Grant funds are based on contributions to the Ablaze! for God’s Mission funding effort. Fifteen percent of undesignated funds will be returned for new Outreach Ministries within the Circuit.

Circuit Mission Advocates will review applications for Ablaze! Circuit Grants. Grants will be awarded twice yearly.

Completed grant applications may be mailed or faxed to the Southeastern District office at:

Southeastern District, LCMS
6315 Grovedale Drive
Alexandria VA 22310-2501

Fax: 703.922-6347

These grants are only for congregations and ministries of the Southeastern District, LCMS.
