The Virginia Synod recently was awarded a $50,000 grant through the CaSTLE Project: The Country and Small Town Lived Ecclesiology Project, a five-year initiative led by Wartburg Theological Seminary to support renewal in small town and rural congregations. With this grant, the Virginia Synod will receive funding to strengthen the work of the Lay Ministry Academy and to support lay leaders in the synod serving as synod authorized ministers and lay preachers.
