Storyboard: Faith Witness Transformation is a podcast highlighting ministries across the East Ohio Conference of The United Methodist Church that are transforming lives locally, nationally, and globally. Produced twice-a-month by EOC Communications, each podcast episode focuses on one of the core values of the #BeUMC campaign: Disciple Making; Belonging & Inclusion; Influence, Connection & Impact; and Experience of God through The United Methodist Church.

In Episode 63 “Understanding TAP Grants” we explore ways Trinity Action Projects (TAP) grants provide seed money for new and existing ministries and foster bold initiatives that engage and serve East Ohio communities.

Rev. Beth Ortiz, executive director of Discipleship Ministries for both East and West Ohio said, “sometimes when we think need, we think first of physical need which is certainly very important. Social needs, emotional needs, and spiritual needs are also so important.” 

“I love to see the broad and the creative and the insightful needs that the churches have of people who are coming to the church or are outside the church, and people who are being ministered to just because we are able to help,” said Rev. Angela Lewis, superintendent of the Northern Waters District.
