Lilly Endowment

These programs are made possible through the financial support of Lilly Endowment’s Thriving Congregations Initiative and National Economic Challenges grants. Their goal is to help congregations thrive. They support existing programs or develop new ones to help congregations deepen their relationships with God, enhance their connections with each other, and contribute to the vitality of their communities and the world.

Who Will Inherit the Mess is part of Converge North Central’s financial stewardship program to turn financial heartburn into a thriving budget. That happens through education about the financial and legal implications of estate planning, with a goal of seeing congregations living and leaving a spiritual legacy.
