Church of the Brethren<\/strong> received $763.72 to purchase audio\/video and computer equipment to upgrade the congregation\u2019s technology to offer online worship.

Iglesia de los Hermanos,<\/strong> a new church plant of Atlantic Southeast District, received $4,697.17 for its outreach and worship ministries.

The church&#8211;a merger between Shepherd\u2019s Table, a 2012 Brethren in Christ church plant, and East Dayton Church of the Brethren&#8211;is in a low-income neighborhood where many neighbors have little or no reliable access to the Internet and are often unaware of the fellowship\u2019s outreach publicized through social media. As a result, the church is promoting its outreach by posting large banners in the church yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apply for grants at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brethren.org\/faith-in-action\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"www.brethren.org\/faith-in-action\">www.brethren.org\/faith-in-action<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find more Church of the Brethren news:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/cds-volunteers-support-kerrville\/\">CDS volunteers support \u2018Faith and Fellowship\u2019 memorial event in Kerrville<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/pastors-ordained-in-south-sudan\/\">Pastors ordained for Church of the Brethren ministry in South Sudan<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/speakers-for-nyc-2026\/\">The speakers for National Youth Conference 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/brethren-and-the-declaration\/\">Brethren and the Declaration of Independence: Denise Kettering-Lane presents an equipping session<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/god-of-grace-and-god-of-glory\/\">\u2018God of grace and God of glory\u2019: A call to worship<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brethren Faith in Action Fund has given its most recent grants to three congregations: Ellisforde, Lorida, and East Dayton.
