Congregational Foundation for Theological Studies
NEEDS YOUR HELP!
CFTS needs your help to identify and recruit men and women
preparing or thinking about preparing for ordained ministry in our Association.
If you know of someone who is considering ministry as a vocation,
please contact Phil Jackson at the NACCC office. CFTS is accepting
applications now and in the future. You are our best recruiter.
Libraries Donated
Recently a number of retiring clergy and/or surviving spouses
have donated their theological library to CFTS students starting out in ministry.
This is an incredible benefit to young clergy due to the price of books.
If you have a library to donate, CFTS will pay the shipping and see that
it gets into the hands of deserving women and men beginning their
new ministry in the NACCC.
