Transformational Ministry Track

The 2010 application process is now closed.  We will announce our new Fellows soon.  The next application deadline will be March 15, 2011 and details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Transformational ministries will bring about measurable change and should serve as models that can be used in different settings. Examples include, but are not limited to, pilot projects in an emerging area of congregational development, adaptations of existing programs in new locations, or the development and testing of resources designed for congregational or community use. Please note, while an individual may be associated with a church agency, it is the individual who is recognized as the Fellow.

We are looking to partner with fellowship candidates engaged in ministries at the community or congregational level that will change individuals, groups or communities in positive ways, impacting their ability to see and use God's gifts, bringing them into a closer relationship with God.  Special consideration will be given to programs in locations with limited resources aor among underserved communities.

Transformational ministry applicants will be asked to demonstrate how their ministry has the potential to transform community at the grassroots level, and special consideration will be given to programs in locations with limited resources or among underserved communities.

Demonstrated Capacities:

• Competence and experience in the particular ministry area which is the subject of the application

• A clear vision of applicant’s vocational objectives

• The intention and ability to offer his or her gifts, expertise, and best practices to the wider church.
