by Fund for Theological ExplorationPrint Article Email to a Friend
ATLANTA—Kidron (Ohio) Mennonite Church has received a grant of $5,000 from the Fund for Theological Exploration (FTE) for Ministry Exploration, a partnership in mentoring between leaders of local congregations and a Mennonite high school to introduce students to the profession of ordained ministry.
FTE asks congregations across the country to consider the question, Who will lead the church tomorrow? And to help find the answer, FTE is awarding grants totaling $73,000 to eight congregations with innovative ideas for cultivating the call to ministry among youth.
FTE will award $200,000 in grants through 2009 as part of its Calling Congregations initiative, which is funded by Lilly Endowment Inc. This is a national, ecumenical effort to encourage and equip churches to play a leading role in the vocational discernment of young men and women and to increase the number of gifted young people considering ordained ministry as a profession.
