The Preaching Justice Fellowship

The majority of participants will be preachers with 3 or more years of experience in ministry, looking for replenishment and additional education, open to learning from voices underrepresented in most North American contexts, and committed to the value of preaching that integrates faith and justice. 

The fellowship will generally require 3-4 hours a month (two 1-hour cohort meetings online + online course content comprised of short videos and selected readings approx. 30-50 pages; optionally, some participants may choose to read most or the entirety of our book of the month). In addition, participants will gather ~6 members from their faith community to join the Faith and Justice Network (w/ complimentary membership) and provide feedback and support in monthly meetings organized by the fellowship participant. Finally, there are two in-person gatherings (in September and January); travel stipends provided. 

Apart from a $100 deposit upon admission, all expenses are covered, including the full cost of tuition in the fellowship and up to $2,000 for travel to two gatherings. 

Participants in the optional DMin track will be eligible for additional scholarships. 

Participants in the Preaching Justice Fellowship are eligible for getting a head start in the DMin program at San Francisco Theological Seminary (at the University of Redlands) and additional scholarships.
