ATLANTA — Huguenot Road Baptist Church in Richmond has been awarded an “It’s Time” Missional Ministry grant of $25,000 by the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.
The grant will help fund the church’s partnership with the Hyaets ministry in Charlotte, N.C. Hyaets, which means “tree of life” in Hebrew, consists of six adults and their children living in intentional community in the poverty-stricken Enderly Park area of Charlotte, N.C. As part of the church’s partnership, grant funds will enable Huguenot Road to build a neighborhood clubhouse. The clubhouse will serve as a ministry point for the neighborhood.
The Fellowship’s Missional Ministry grants resource local congregations as they complete the “It’s Time: A Journey Toward Missional Faithfulness” study and seek to determine how God is calling them to ministry.
“We are pleased that so many of our partnering congregations are catching the missional vision,” said Bo Prosser, the Fellowship’s coordinator for congregational life. “Huguenot Road has cast a vision for missional ministry that will serve their community and God’s kingdom with energy.”
