Providence United Methodist Church’s mission is to be the growing body of Christ, glorifying God and serving others. The CHRISTMAS EVE GRANT is our desire to share God’s incredible gift to the world. We give 100% of our Christmas Eve collection to a deserving mission project that aligns with our overall mission. The CHRISTMAS EVE GRANT is a one-time grant to fund a community service program and project. Recipients will have the opportunity to educate and tell their story to the congregation during the months of November and December. Past collections average around $25,000, but some stories inspired much larger giving. We cannot guarantee a specific amount, only that the recipient will receive the entire Christmas Eve collection.
