St. Paul’s Faith, Justice & the Arts (FJA)Initiative
St. Paul’s Indy created the FJA initiative to fulfill the promise of our Baptismal Covenant to strive for justice and peace among all people, and to respect the dignity of every human being. To achieve this, we will use the arts to create community-wide experiences and conversations that raise awareness about issues of injustice and lead to faithful and transformative engagement in the community.
Future FJA grant opportunities will be announced as dates are determined. Read below about the most recent FJA grant opportunity:
