Castle Hill Ministry Scholarship Fund

Scholarship Purpose & Description

The Castle Hill Advent Christian Church closed its doors in December of 2019 due to declining numbers and the difficulty of finding pastoral leadership. Through a generous donation, a Ministry Scholarship will be established in their name. It is their desire that this ministry scholarship be established to help fund individuals who are seeking vocational ministry training either from a ministry training program within the Advent Christian constituency, or if a person chooses to seek to prepare for vocational ministry outside of the Advent Christian constituency, the Christian institution must be accredited.

Applicants are required to fill out the application and have all of the required information turned in to the Superintendent’s Office by September 15th in order to be considered by the Eastern Regional Board of Directors. The Board will present scholarships to qualified applicants by dividing $2000 dollars among them per year. If only one applicant applies, the cap for an individual scholarship is $1000 dollars made out to the school of their choosing.

Qualifications 

  • The applicant must be willing to serve in an Advent Christian Church or Advent Christian ministry during, or upon completion of, his/her studies. In the spirit with which this scholarship was created, encouraging future ministry leaders in the Advent Christian network of churches is essential. It is left to the discretion of the Eastern Regional Board of Directors if an applicant does not attend or plan to serve in an Advent Christian Church.
  • The applicant must fill out the enclosed application form, paying special care to the statements of personal testimony and sense of call to vocational ministry.
  • The applicant must be able to demonstrate financial need by providing information on anticipated annual costs along with expected sources of income.
  • The applicant must be of sound Christian character and provide a letter of recommendation from his/her pastor.
  • The applicant must provide a transcript of the last completed year of schooling.
