Sustaining Pastoral Excellence

Competence

Pastoral Arts

Remaining sharp in pastoral ministry requires one to be a lifelong learner. By providing resources to those in ministry for development in preaching, leading, teaching, and caring we aim to encourage Covenant pastors, missionaries, and chaplains on this journey.

Personal Learning Experiences

  • Up to $500 is available to participate in self-selected opportunities to enhance growth in the pastoral arts of preaching, leading, teaching, and caring.
  • Application submissions are considered as they are received.

Sabbatical Grants

  • Covenant pastors, missionaries, and chaplains can now apply for a Sustaining Pastoral Excellence grant for their sabbatical.
  • These grants of up to $1,000 are available matching the amount offered by your church or ministry context (for a total of up to $2,000).

Prior to moving to the USA, I was a professor at the National University of Colombia and served with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students in Colombia for 16 years. Starting in 2001, I served as InterVarsity National Staff in the USA. I have a master’s degree in Christian Ministries, and I serve in Spiritual Direction to those who want to be fully present and available to God and receive His grace over them. My joy is to see professors and college students coming to know Jesus and being transformed into people that bring the good news of righteousness and justice to others.
