Lutherans Against Violence Grants
“As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace.” Ephesians 6:15 (NRSV)
The Lutherans Against Violence Grant Program was a pilot in
itiative to assist Chicagoland congregations in implementing violence prevention programs in their local community. The program is funded in partnership with the Northern Illinois District of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and the Metropolitan Chicago Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
The two-year, $5,000 grants were awarded in the fall of 2009. We are no longer accepting applications.
