The ideal candidates for the Fellowship for Emerging Leaders in Ministry include faith-based leaders in central New York. Typically, participants will have more than three (3) years of experience. This program is suitable for leaders of Christian churches (parishes, congregations) of any size – not only senior pastors (ministers) in large, flourishing, established churches but also pastoral leaders of small, newly established churches (congregations, parishes). This is a selective program with a competitive application process. Those interested in participation will be required to submit an application and request a sponsoring statement from a supervisor, board member within the organization, or a community leader who is thoroughly familiar with you and can provide a detailed, firsthand appraisal. Applicants should be prepared for, and comfortable with, engaging in an in-depth spiritual renewal and leadership discernment process in a supportive environment. Program Costs Thanks to generous funding from the Lilly Endowment and support provided by Syracuse University and Le Moyne College, this program is offered at no cost to participants. Tuition, accommodations and most meals will be covered by the Thriving in Ministry Grant. Please note that travel to and from the residencies and program materials will be at the candidate’s expense. What Participants Can Expect Program Focus
We are living at a time when leaders are being called upon to create and sustain opportunity in the midst of unpredictable circumstances. In response to such tremendous need, the Fellowship for Emerging Leaders in Ministry will give particular attention to being grounded in one’s faith tradition, awareness of strengths and opportunities for improvement, and sparking the joy that is found in co-creating change for the sake of developing mission-driven communities. Through an action and reflection cycle, participants will grow both their roots and reach, for the sake of thriving in ministry. Among other things, participants will acquire a deeper understanding of their own vocation, develop new insights about individual and community change, and foster new relationships with area leaders, professionals, and students.
