It drafts your emails, announcements and donor thank-yous. You approve every send.

Church training with Verdex Free call

You already wrote the content.

It is in a manual, a workbook, a sermon series or the slide deck you teach from. Verdex turns it into short lessons with exercises and questions, and builds the app it lives in, on the web, iPhone and Android, under your name.

  • They learn what you teach.
  • They put it in their own words.
  • They practice it this week.
  • You see who is advancing.

You get a written quote after a free call. Separate affiliated service, not a grant, a Plenary feature or a funding guarantee; grant eligibility for a course build is not assumed. Booking happens on Verdex’s site under its own terms; nothing from this directory is sent.

M2M on iPhone, Verdex’s first build. Recorded from verdex.life/lms.

FAQ

What are church grants?

Church grants are funds from foundations, denominations, companies or government programs that churches and ministries can apply for. They usually pay for a specific project, such as repairs, outreach, technology or training, and they don't have to be repaid.

Can churches get grants?

Yes. Many funders accept congregations directly, especially denominational bodies and faith foundations. Some general foundations fund only 501(c)(3) programs, so check the eligibility line on each listing.

Where can small churches find grants?

Start with your own denomination's diocese, conference, presbytery or synod, then regional faith foundations. Our small church grants page lists programs for small congregations.

Are there grants for church building repairs?

Yes. Programs such as the National Fund for Sacred Places fund urgent repairs at historic houses of worship, and several dioceses fund unexpected capital expenses. See church building and repair grants.

Are there grants for church technology and training?

Yes. These include in-kind tech programs like Google Ad Grants and denominational technology grants. See church technology and training grants.

Where do the listings come from?

Each listing links to the funder's own page. We record the amount, deadline and eligibility as that page states them, with the date we recorded it. Dates are record dates, not new checks. Confirm with the funder before you apply.
