The Pension Fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is increasing its support of Disciples seminary students through its Student Gift Membership Program. Beginning with the fall 2010 academic term, the Pension Fund will launch a pilot program of interactive resources and other practical tools for successful ministry, particularly to congregations. Ministry-Life Choices for Seminarians is designed to augment the rigorous theological training provided by seminaries. The program is being developed in collaboration with Lexington Theological Seminary.
Participants in the program will receive a Student Gift Membership in the Pension Plan of the Christian Church, funded by the Pension Fund’s endowment earnings. Program eligibility is limited to Master of Divinity candidates who are in their second year level of study, who are under pastoral care and oversight of their region and attending at least on a half-time basis.
