Cultivating Faith: Intergenerational Mentorship and Spiritual Formation in Urban Denver
2023-24: East Denver Vineyard Neighborhood Church (EDV), rooted in a vibrant yet rapidly gentrifying space, strives to foster spiritual growth amid the community’s challenges. EDV will help the community cultivate individual and collective spiritual practices that will help people to bloom in the desert; and as they grow, new seeds will be planted and cultivated in an intergenerational way. This grant facilitates EDV’s mission to grow “deep and wide.” Their aim is to cultivate spiritual depth and expand their reach to
neighbors who are curious but skeptical about faith. An emphasis on adult spiritual
formation creates the foundation for EDV to develop an intergenerational mentoring
approach to the discipleship and formation of kids, youth, and young adults.

About
Congregational and Community grants provide support for urban pastors, churches, faith-based community organizations, and theological institutions to share resources, ideas, and practices for life-giving ministry in cities across North America. Typically, we invite those who have not previously had access to resources or grant funding.
