WE SEE YOU: 2020 

Metro Ministries, Inc. has existed for over 96 years - to connect, communicate and convene with United Methodist churches, so that church members are empowered, engaged and equipped to help meet the needs of persons in your neighborhood and across Central Indiana. This year - 2020 - has been like no other, with needs arising we cound have imagined. Metro intends to respond by raising $50,000 for two key grant initiatiatives.

• Restoration from COVID-19: will seek grant proposals from churches that address issues that either began or have been magnified because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes restoration of physical, emotional and mental well-being, family relationship health, and encouragement for at-risk neighbors, healthcare workers, teachers and many other vocations. With this grant opportunity, Metro is encouraging churches to help the community and individuals re-emerge from pandemic restrictions with renewed hope and growth in Christian faith.
• Racial Equity and Justice: is a grant opportunity that encourages churches to engage in open dialog, deep listening and perhaps uncomfortable conversations with their congregations and in their communities about racial issues. As United Methodists, we are called to do justice, whether racial, economic, environmental or otherwise. Metro is asking churches to seize this moment to listen, to learn, to speak and to act, as Jesus Christ would have us do.

We need your help to make these initiatives successful for our churches and our communities. Between now and August 14, we hope to raise $50,000. Help us meet this lofty goal!

Your gift, regardless of amount, will make a difference in the lives and communities

we all serve as the hands and feet of Christ.
