DREAMING LAB FOR INNOVATIVE MINISTRY AND GRANTS WRITING

A free workshop offered by the Grants Outreach Program
of the United Methodist Foundation of Louisiana

Utilizing Kenda Creasy Dean’s Innovating for Love: Joining God’s Expedition Through Christian Social Innovation, the Foundation’s Grants Outreach Program offers several half-day workshops to explore the theology behind and current necessity for ministry innovation. We will also provide ample examples of such ministries, facilitate idea-producing group exercises and educate participants about the resources available within our Foundation, our Conference and our regions that can aid actualization.

Workshop facilitator Britney Winn Lee is the Foundation Grants Outreach Program Coordinator and a lifelong United Methodist. Since graduating from Centenary College, she has spent years working in faith-based nonprofits and UM churches. She earned a master’s degree in nonprofit administration and is currently on the deacon tract at Garrett Evangelical Theology Seminary.

When people with the smallest inkling of an idea for an unconventional ministry find others who are similarly wired, the floodgates open.
— Kenda Creasy Dean
