YBA Finance & Grants

The YBA offers financial support to our member churches and ministers in a number of ways.

The YBA accepts grant applications from our member churches and ministers.

Grant types include:

  1. Ministry Grants - sabbatical, book and further training, along with grants for ministers in training in YBA churches.
