On December 30, Rev. Sam Blewis submitted a major funding proposal for Front Porch to the annual conference’s Committee on New and Vital Congregations. The hope is that this funding will allow Front Porch to get to the next level. As the leadership team learns systems and gets other pieces in place, it is also getting funding systems in place. In fact, you may have noticed two advertisements in the Mountain View Voice recently. Those were placed through a grant from United Methodist Communications, and seven new people have come because of them!
