Part-Time Pastor; Full-Time Church
The Part-Time Pastor; Full-Time Church program is a grant-funded initiative of the Church of the Brethren Office of Ministry providing support to multivocational, part-time pastors in their own context.
Clergy Renewal
The Lilly Endowment Clergy Renewal Programs at Christian Theological Seminary provide funds to congregations to support renewal leaves for their pastors.
Congregations may apply for grants of to $50,000 to underwrite a renewal program for their pastor and for the pastor’s family, with up to $15,000 of those funds available to the congregation to help cover costs for ministerial supply while the pastor is away. There is no cost to the congregations or the pastors to apply; the grants represent the Endowment’s continued investment in renewing the health and vitality of American Christian congregations.
