What is Vision to Action (V2A)?

Vision to Action is the granting entity of the Florida‑Bahamas Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We invest in innovative ministries that invite people into a life‑giving relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
V2A grants support projects that advance one or more of the Synod’s strategic priorities: 
  • Making Disciples: Supporting congregations as they refocus their practices on discipleship and equip people to share the Gospel through community engagement and relationship‑building. 
  • Leadership Development: Forming and equipping lay and rostered leaders for evangelism, resulting in ministry teams that recognize and use their spiritual gifts in service to their communities. 
  • Ministry at the Margins: Extending God’s grace to people not traditionally engaged in ELCA congregations, including individuals who are unhoused, food‑insecure, culturally diverse, or unchurched. 
  • Youth and Young Adults: Engaging, encouraging, and equipping young people as disciples of Christ through faith formation, leadership development, and community‑building. 
Our focus is on empowering new expressions of church that respond faithfully to a rapidly changing cultural landscape.
At the heart of V2A is intentional evangelism—equipping congregations to share the Gospel in creative, meaningful ways and to engage their communities as disciples of Christ.
