Last year, MC USA awarded Justice Fund grants to nine congregations partnering with other churches or organizations to work on significant justice issues within their communities. Read their inspiring stories and learn more about how your congregation can apply for the grant: mennoniteusa.org/justice-fund-2025
These grants, which range from $500-$2,500, can be used as start-up funds or to continue an existing ministry. In 2025, the Justice Fund is focusing on providing grants to churches that are collaborating with others in their communities to work on the issues of immigration and climate justice.

Just Peace Pilgrimages with Mennonite Mission Network
Mennonite Mission Network has two upcoming Just Peace Pilgrimages for small groups and individuals that explore what God is doing to bring about justice and peace in the world and ways in which we can participate.
Solidarity with Indigenous Peoples — Engage with contemporary Indigenous realities, explore the histories of Indigenous Peoples, and examine the complexities of Indigenous-settler relations. What might it mean for your community to stand in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples and actively contribute to the work of truth telling and repair? Date: October 7-11, 2025; register by August 1.
Civil Rights Pilgrimage — Led by MC USA Executive Director Glen Guyton, this young-adult focused, multiracial pilgrimage through the southern United States fosters shared learning and deep understanding of the racial divides that our society perpetuates. Date: October 28-November 2, 2025; register by September 15.
To register for these pilgrimages or to inquire about scheduling a group trip, email Stephanie Weaver at StephanieW@MennoniteMission.net.
