Chapter Grants for Excellence in Ministry

The Excellence in Ministry Fund


Five people studying the Bible

In an effort to encourage better ministerial practices, the Ministers Council ABCUSA has developed the Excellence in Ministry Fund through a generous grant from Christian Theological Seminary. These funds will be offered to local chapters of the Ministers Council.

Goals of the Program

  1. Strengthening the well-being of ministers within the ABC family.
  2. To encourage the development of active chapters of the Ministers Council.
  3. Strengthening the relationship between local ABC regions, local Ministers Council chapters, and the Ministers Council of ABCUSA.
  4. To develop local Ministers Council chapter regions where they do not currently exist.

Beginning 2020, local chapters of the Ministers Council ABCUSA may apply for grants of up to $1,000 annually for chapter sponsored events such as retreats, workshops, or seminars. In regions without an active local MC chapter, regional executives may apply for the grant. Applications are available through the Ministers Council ABCUSA office.
