Ohio River Valley District Grants

The Ohio River Valley Mission Foundation exists thanks to the faithful stewardship and gifts of individuals from our predecessor organizations. Over the years many saints have placed gifts in trust to continue ministries beyond their time on earth for which they had a passion. Some of these gifts were given with restrictions regarding use and others were unrestricted. These gifts have been carefully invested so that the earnings are able to fund current ministries in the Ohio River Valley District. In addition to the earnings on the investments, annual apportionment giving from the churches in the district help to further the district's ability to extend mission and ministry in new and emerging ways; to revitalize congregations; to grow congregations to fulfill the both the Great Commandment and the Great Commission; and to help churches live into the vision that God has given them. The Mission Foundation may be able to help if your church or agency is in need of resource assistance for a new or continuing ministry.
