Thank you for your interest in the ABCRGR Church Technology Grant. This grant offers churches up to $1,000 to help meet ministry and mission needs through technology — equipment, software, or infrastructure that opens new avenues for worship, formation, or connection with the wider community. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed by the Finance and Investment Committee. A church may receive one Church Technology Grant every four years.
