Ways to Get Involved

PASTORS AND OTHER CHURCH LEADERS

Join a network of church leaders in African American, Asian American, and Latin@ communities that are committed to supporting and fostering the development of young adults of color for Christian ministry. Find fellowship and support among other church leaders and serve as a mentor to young adults considering calls to ministry.

Learn more about the Pastors of Color Networking Gatherings for 2010. The first opportunity was held at the Cenacle Retreat and Conference Center in February. There will be a second gathering at the same location August 2-4 . The opportunity to be involved this year has passed. Learn more or apply to be part of next year's gatherings here.

YOUNG ADULTS

Are you an African American, Asian American, or Latin@ young adult that is committed to your church and community, but seeks to make connections with others in imagining a new way forward? Then join us! Meet other young leaders and be part of mentoring relationships with pastors, scholars, and church leaders.

The first opportunity will be at the Taste of Seminary Seminar for Young Adults considering theological education: June 13-18. There will also be two young adult conferences exploring the intersection between faith, identity and creative expression. The first, focusing on musical expression, will take place July 9-11. The second, focusing on spoken word, will take place August 13-15. Both will be hosted at McCormick Theological Seminary. Learn more or register here.

NEXT GENERATION MINISTRY

The Center for Asian American Ministries, the Center for African American Ministry and Black Church Studies and the Center for the Study of Latin@ Theology and Ministry will work with the Common Ground Project to put together a series of consultations in 2010-2011. This consultation is for scholars, pastors and other church leaders to share best practices and emerging movements in ministry among the next generation of church-goers and leaders.
