AALM seeks to fund churches responding to needs that have emerged due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Grants of up to $4,000 from the COVID-19 Resiliency Fund can be used for either salary support or programming by an AALM church, but not both.<br><br>\u201cMany of our AALM churches have experienced serious challenges during the coronavirus pandemic. Our hope is that grants from the AALM COVID-19 Resiliency Fund will enable these churches to continue to fulfill the mission of the UMC &#8211; making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. One big challenge has been financial and we know that churches will have an easier time fulfilling this mission if they can continue to pay their pastors or pay for some programming,\u201d said the Rev. John Oda, director of AALM.<br><br>Additional information about the AALM Covid-19 Resiliency Fund and grant application process are available\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.umcmission.org\/serve-with-us\/partnerships\/aalm\">here<\/a>.
