CotC Ordination Assistance Fund

Church of the Cross seeks to support congregation members pursuing ordination to the diaconate in the Diocese of Christ our Hope through the Ordination Assistance Fund. 

Applications are accepted at any time, and applicants can submit multiple applications for eligible expenses for a maximum total disbursement per individual of $1200. Should needs exceed the allocation maximum of $1200, applicants are encouraged to apply for assistance from the CotC Benevolence Fund. 

Apply for assistance: Ordinands may request assistance through the form below, and we will review and respond to you as soon as possible.

Give to the fund: Income for the fund comes from individual gifts, as well as offerings at installations, ordinations, or other special giving occasions. Gifts can be made by congregation members, visitors, family and friends of ordinands, or other external donors, but gifts cannot be designated toward specific ordinands.
