Strategic Church Development Awards have been established because of a growing need and desire for African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and other minorities to serve as pastors and church planters within the PCA. This full-tuition award—which may be received for up to four years—will help a select number of minority students who desire to train for local church ministry. First preference will be given to students who are members of the PCA.
