At the end of December we made one final ask for Rooted in Place, our offering recipient for the 2024 Regional Gatherings. Thanks to one major gift and many, many other donations, we can report that we collectively raised $21,293! THANK YOU for your generosity and support.
Rooted in Place brings together several vital realities:
Gifted seminary students need internship sites that will prepare them to serve God’s church with creativity and energy.
Some seminarians need to stay close to their home for internship for a variety of reasons.
Congregations hosting interns greatly benefit from their ministry.
The Northwest Intermountain Synod has ministries that would serve as exceptional training centers, yet don’t have the funding capacity to afford a seminary intern.
Our 2024 Regional Gatherings were about finding new ways to fund ministry.
Our 2024 Regional Gatherings were about place and knowing a location’s context.
Rooted in Place will allow the Northwest Intermountain Synod to provide partnership grants to vital ministry sites that will allow them to train the next generation of rostered ministers.
Interns will benefit as they receive vital experience. Internship congregations will benefit as they utilize the intern’s gifts. The whole church will benefit as these interns bring their new gifts to their ministry. THANK YOU!
