Raise Up Minority Leaders in the PCA

 

Raise Up Future Minority Ruling Elders and Teaching Elders. The PCA Unity Fund was established by the 44th General Assembly to help raise up future generations of godly, reformed, African American and other minority Ruling Elders and Teaching Elders.

 

Scholarships supported by designated gifts to The PCA Unity Fund are offered to men of diverse minority backgrounds seeking ordination in the PCA as Ruling Elders or Teaching Elders. The PCA Unity Fund Committee welcomes and encourages men of diverse minority backgrounds seeking ordination in the PCA to request that their Presbytery or Session submit in their behalf the Scholarship Application for Men Seeking Ordination in the PCA.

 

VISION

 

To see future generations of Reformed minority Teaching Elders, Ruling Elders called to the Gospel ministry.

 

MISSION

 

To subsidize the training, mentoring and development of men of diverse backgrounds seeking ordination in the PCA through partnership with churches and presbyteries.

 

OBJECTIVES

 

  1. Provide scholarships to men of diverse minority backgrounds seeking ordination in the PCA as Ruling Elders or Teaching Elders.
  2. Provide General Assembly Scholarships for underrepresented minority Ruling and Teaching Elders and Licentiates.

 

WHERE ARE WE GOING IN THE FUTURE?

 

In addition to the scholarships described above, and in partnership with PCA churches and presbyteries, The PCA Unity Fund has these future goals:

 

  1. Provide Compensation expense subsidies for minorities serving as an Assistant Pastor in a PCA church, for the first two years of their ministry in churches.
  2. Provide Historical Research expense subsidies to explore the role that Reformed minority scholars, theologians, and pastors have played in church history.
  3. Provide Resources and support for minorities interested in pursuing missions with Mission to The World and college ministry with Reformed University Fellowship.
