“Plentiful Gifts” is a partnership with the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary to help small congregations with part-time clergy nurture lay gifts and leadership. Participating churches will work to identify their mission and talents, after which select members will receive training and support in ministry areas such as preaching, worship, pastoral care, and community engagement. Each church will have a mentor and support network. Funded by the Lily Foundation’s “Thriving Congregations Initiative,” the program is offered to churches free of cost.

For more information on the program, review the Plentiful Gifts Description and Application.

A webinar for interested churches will be held on Wednesday, September 25 at 6:00 pm CT. Register below or by emailing Scott Chase at sgc.bts@gmail.com.
