The Tennessee-Western Kentucky Conference recommends that both laity and clergy nurture a daily practice of well-being that include five dimensions: physical, emotional, spiritual, relational and financial. Mini-grants are available to support clergy in their regular well-being practices.

Note: applicants are not eligible for both the Mini-Grant and the Renewal Leave Grant in the same calendar year.

Funding Range
Applicants may apply for up to $400
Process
Only complete applications will be considered. You will receive notification of your grant application within 30 days of submission. All grant requests will be held confidentially by our Mental Health and Well-Being Guide Team.
