plentiful gifts: nourishing members for the flourishing of small member congregations

$1.25 Million Grant will help fund a University of Dubuque Theological Seminary initiative to revitalize small churches

Posted December 14th, 2023

The University of Dubuque Theological Seminary has received a $1.25 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to help establish Plentiful Gifts: Nourishing Members for the Flourishing of Small Member Congregations. Through this new initiative, UDTS will partner with several judicatories to shepherd cohorts of small churches in seasons of transitions, without full-time pastors, to equip members to carry on being church through vital congregational practices.
