FTE on June 20, 2011 23:07Q&A for "How We Are Called to Ministry..." (Part 4 of 4)
FTE on June 16, 2011 16:30
At FTE, our mission is to call and cultivate a new generation of leaders to serve the church and world.
Quality leadership in ministry makes a difference in people's lives every day. Every community needs capable, compassionate Christian leaders who serve the common good, strive for justice, build up the community and share the Gospel. We invite you to join this growing, ecumenical movement to support future pastors, those who teach them and the communities that call them.
In 1954, leading educators, clergy and philanthropists joined together to form The Fund for Theological Education out of common concern that the quality of those entering the ministry had declined and that highly talented students were too often choosing other careers.
They believed—as we do today—that this trend could leave congregations across North America without the strong leaders they need, now and in the decades to come. They believed that our shared faith deserves the best possible leadership that the Christian church can put forward.
