Helping Chart a Course to Thriving Ministry
Samford University’s Center for Congregational Resources exists to come alongside communities of faith and their leaders, helping them chart a course to thriving ministry. The Center began in 2003, as part of Lilly Endowment’s nationwide Sustaining Pastoral Excellence initiative. At that time, the Center’s mission was primarily focused on clergy renewal and continuing education. Now the Center also provides services and resources designed to help congregations. We can be your partner on the journey, helping you chart a course toward your God-given vision for mission and ministry.
