Pulpit Supply Program

As CUDS continues to live out its mission statement – Christ centered, Bible based, Ministry focused – we are interested in making available to students a Campbell Pulpit Experience in partnering churches. If you are interested in participating (beginning in Fall 2024) please speak with or send an e-mail to John Norman. Also, if you have provided pulpit supply, we would love to hear about your experience that we might determine ways to make this opportunity successful for students and churches alike.

Empowering Families for Spiritual Formation Initiative

We are excited to announce our plans for Empowering Families for Spiritual Formation through the Lilly Endowment’s Christian Parenting and Caregiving Initiative. We aim to partner with churches, ministers, and parents to develop strategies and resources to equip and encourage families to experience regular, substantive, holistic, family-centered spiritual formation. Over the next few years, Campbell University Divinity School will partner with churches, ministers, parents, and caregivers for a journey of participation, exploration, and experience. Churches and ministers will liaise between their participating families and the Divinity School, providing communication, encouragement, and support throughout the process.

We are looking for ten churches to journey with us. Churches desiring to participate will be required to complete an official application. The church application will be posted by May 1, 2024, and will need to be completed by July 1, 2024. Following the application process, churches will be notified if they have been selected. Listening sessions at participating churches will begin in the Fall of 2024. Below are the requirements for churches to apply and participate:

· A historical commitment to children and family ministry.

· A committed staff member or volunteer to liaise between Campbell University Divinity School and their families for the three-year journey.

· Willingness to work alongside the Divinity School and other churches to cultivate experiences and resources.

· 3-7 families with children willing to participate in the three-year journey.

· Commitment to participate in listening sessions and scheduled retreats.

·Located within a reasonable geographic area for Campbell University Divinity School staff to travel for listening sessions and families to travel for retreats.

We believe this is an amazing opportunity for your church and families. While this is a research process, and the specific outcomes will be determined by the information gathered from families and experiences, being apart of this experience will provide:

· Financial and resource support for listening sessions.

· Financial and resource support for family retreats.

· Spiritual formation and learning experiences for families.

· Learning opportunities for ministers and churches.

· The churches and families involved will be the first to benefit from any knowledge gathered and resources produced.
