About Us
A small Nazarene university in Tennessee has been awarded the largest grant in its history to train future pastors, the Times Free Press reports.
The Lilly Endowment Foundation has awarded $1.25 million to Trevecca Nazarene University over the next five years to help pastors discern their calling and get better at preaching.
"We want to really invest in nurturing and encouraging those young preachers as they are feeling some kind of a call to ministry, and resource and help them as well," Michael Jackson, a professor of theology and Christian ministry at Trevecca, tells the Times Free Press.
Jackson and Craig Shepherd, an associate professor of theology and Christian ministry at Trevecca, have been working on the grant for a year.
