The Trinity Church Wall Street Philanthropies has recently awarded FaithX Project, a program that is mainly for the improvement of small congregations.

As reported, the Trinity Church Wall Street Philanthropies is one of the programs of the church.

‘Vitality Improvement Program’

As per the press release, the FaithX project has recently approved a grant from the Trinity Church Wall Street Philanthropies to create a vitality program for small congregations.

The Vitality Improvement Program, a program of FaithX, enables support for the needs of the small congregations and dioceses in improving the community they serve. 

The FaithX will be accepting applicants from Episcopal Dioceses granting 7-10 small congregations for the dioceses who want to join the project. They will provide eligibility requirements and kick-off date once it is all finalized, as reported.

Rev. Ken Howard, FaithX’s executive director, said that the church today is experiencing a crisis in accepting change. 

Those who have a clear vision, willing to take the risk of learning new knowledge, and understand the needs of the community they serve are the ones who will survive in challenging times, he added.

The-three year grant from trinity enables FaithX to meet the needs of small congregations and the dioceses that support them through vitality improvement programs.
