• Project Title: The World Next Door: Increasing Capacity to Prepare Pastors for Immigrant and Ethnic Churches
• Project Description: The project will increase our capacity to prepare and support pastoral leaders for immigrant and ethnic churches across the US by strengthening all seminary systems: leadership, finances, and educational programs. We will do this by recruiting promising immigrant and ethnic leaders into degree programs, developing certificate programs that shift the structure of theological education for the unique needs of these churches, increasing practical theology in our MDiv, launching bivocational internships, and strengthening our financial model to better prepare pastors who can lead congregations effectively in serving God and serving communities.
