ext Ringing for A Peals for Peace: August 3, 2026 We invite you and your community to take part in A Peals for Peace, an act of public witness rooted in faith and grounded in the shared belief that every person has inherent worth.

Applications are now being accepted for the 2027 cohort of Connect Church, a program of Faith in Rural Communities at the NC Rural Center. Connect Church is a one-year learning cohort aimed at helping churches renew their faithful witness and connect with opportunities to improve the health and prosperity of their communities. A small group of people from each accepted church will work with an experienced coach to have a better understanding of their church's assets and how to use them for the benefit of their community. Upon completion of the program, churches may apply for a grant of up to $10,000 to launch a new or expanded missional engagement project. This is a $25,000 value offered to you for free thanks to generous funding from The Duke Endowment and Lilly Endowment. The deadline to apply is July 31, 2026.
