Pastors and Formation

These grants aim to help Bible institutes, seminaries, congregations and related institutions to build their capacity by exploring how to strengthen their unique institutional life in order to be an ongoing gift and blessing to others; gain greater clarity on priorities to fulfill their particular callings; and deepening their institutional life to support the overarching work of pastoral formation and flourishing congregations in urban settings.

The Ministry in the City HUB aims to support communities, institutes, churches and seminaries in strengthening their capacity for forming pastoral and church leaders for ministry in cities. This initiative involves seminaries, theological institutions, and churches and intends to help communities and institutions explore and assess their own urban context and church life; gain clarity about their mission and programmatic offerings; and strengthen and support the design and implementation of plans to address key challenges and opportunities for pastoral formation and flourishing congregations in urban settings.
