PRE-LAUNCH STARTUPS LAB

The Google News Initiative Pre-launch Lab is a program supporting early stage entrepreneurs in journalism The eight-week, fully-remote program helps entrepreneurs launch successful, trusted digital news organizations We accept solo founders or teams of aspiring entrepreneurs who have identified a community’s need for better news and want guidance and coaching on how to launch, or continue to develop, a news offering that delivers a solution rooted in journalism.

No fees, no tuition, no income sharing. No financial barriers to your success. Just the hands-on support you need to become independent, and stay independent.

Made for journalism: A laser-focused and immensely practical curriculum that is grounded in handson learning and getting things done.

Live seminars: Weekly live video seminars with a small cohort of like-minded journalism entrepreneurs

Personalized coaching: Weekly one-on-one coaching to help you move your idea forward toward launch, or growth, during the Pre-launch Lab, as well as quarterly coaching for a year after the Prelaunch Lab.

Note: this is not a Chaplaincy Innovation Lab-hosted event. The symposium is hosted by our colleagues at the Emory University Center for Psychedelics and Spirituality.

Join a three-day conference to nurture collective liberation in the election year. The time to act is now: When freedom rises, we all flourish. This spring, join scholars, artists, prophets and organizers to find rest, build political power, and dream expansively about the world we deserve.

DAY ONE: BE WELL

We cannot effectively love our neighbors if we do not love ourselves. Particularly in these overwhelming days, caring for your body and spirit is essential. Rest and revival are the foundation on which we build a movement.

DAY TWO: DO JUSTICE

As fascism rises, there are so many crucial issues. Often, we feel pulled in a thousand directions: Antiracism, labor rights, reproductive freedom, gun violence, climate catastrophe, queer liberation, welcoming migrants, affordable housing and more demand our attention. Leave with better policy knowledge and skills for organizing, inspired to take these gifts home with you.

DAY THREE: DREAM WILDLY

It’s not enough to condemn unjust systems, we must live into different ways of being. Every change begins with people who dare to envision something different. On our final day, we will model what it feels like to build communities that welcome everyone, exactly as we are. We’ll leave inspired to build a more perfect union for generations to come.

YOUNG ADULT VOLUNTEER

The Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) program is an ecumenical, faith-based year of service for young people (ages 19–30) in sites across the United States and around the world. YAVs accompany local agencies working to address root causes of poverty and reconciliation. Alongside this work, volunteers explore the meaning of their Christian faith and accountability to their neighbors in the community with peers and mentors.

The YAV year occurs from August to August.

Program Benefits

Benefits during the year of service, in-person, include a regular stipend, housing, all program-related transportation costs covered and studentloan assistance.

We also invite young adults to engage in world issues, commit to selfreflection, listen to those who are being marginalized and learn in a new way . This is an exciting invitation to “a year of service for a lifetime of change.”

What is Transition into Ministry or TiM?

Plymouth’s Transition into Ministry (TiM) program offers new pastors a 27-month, supported first call in which they fully serve our congregation as pastors but also reflect, learn, and build the practices and skills they need to sustain a career in congregational ministry.

Meeting the Needs of our TiMs

All of our TiMs have arrived at Plymouth within a year after graduating from divinity school. Ordination in the United Church of Christ (UCC) and other denominations is a separate process that includes their formal education plus other requirements. Some of our TiMs have been ready to be ordained pending their call to Plymouth, while others have needed to complete this process while at Plymouth.

Beyond ordination, residents at Plymouth arrive with varying goals Some want to become solo pastors once they leave us and understand they will likely be called to serve much smaller congregations. Others have wanted to become pastors at larger multi-staff churches. Some want to specialize in particular types of ministry, like youth ministry or church planting. And, of course, some arrive at Plymouth, more uncertain about their direction.

Meeting the Needs of Plymouth

Our pastoral residents serve as full-time associate pastors while at Plymouth. They are not interns and all of them are eager to serve us as our pastors. We do our best to give them regular responsibilities for preaching, leading worship, teaching, and pastoral care. Beyond these basics, we try to give them projects or experiences in their areas of interest or areas where they need to grow. Sometimes, we also need them to serve in areas where we have a need such as a staff vacancy, a special project, or a temporary focal area.

Wilshire encourages followers of Christ to listen for the call to vocational ministry We want children, youth and young adults to view a calling to ministry as equally significant as a calling to medicine, law or business. Pathways to Ministry is our initiative to nurture the work of the Holy Spirit within the lives of young believers as they test their gifts and consider a calling to vocational ministry.

Wilshire’s Pastoral Residency Program

The pastoral residency program at Wilshire has become a nationally recognized model for excellence in clergy preparation. Wilshire identifies as a “teaching congregation,” just as some hospitals are teaching hospitals with medical residents.

While the training offered in seminaries and divinity schools focuses on academic and biblical knowledge, what’s often missing is practical teaching about the work of the church. Wilshire seeks to fill that gap by offering recent seminary or divinity school graduates two years to learn the ropes of local church ministry in a safe and healthy practicum. In the long term, we believe, this will extend the ministry of pastors and prevent early burnout.

Residents receive competitive salaries and benefits packages, including a parsonage. This is a full-time job, not an internship. We will be accepting two residents to begin August 1, 2024. Candidates should identify with the Baptist or Free Church traditions and hold a Master of Divinity degree by the beginning of their residency.

To apply for the pastoral residency program, submit the following:

A current resumé.

A one-page statement of call that addresses how your sense of call, your family of origin and the role the church has played in your life align with your desire to become a pastoral resident.

When submitting your application, please let us know how you learned about the program.

Submit materials to Timothy Peoples, Senior Pastor, at tpeoples@wilshirebc.org and Charlie Fuller, Director for Pathways to Ministry/Coach in Residence, at cfuller@wilshirebc.org.

July 8 - August 5, 2024

In this 4-week ritual course, you will work with theological and higher education executive leaders to discover if you are called to serve as a Chief Academic Officer (V.P. of Academic Affairs, Dean of Faculty, Dean) or President. In addition to identifying your gifts for the work, you will participate in a cohort of high-performing peers discerning executive leadership and receive a free Center for Creative Leadership 360 assessment tool ($500 value) and 360 coaching sessions ($250 value) to help identify your growth areas.

By enrolling in this course, you will better understand the role of higher education in the 21st century, learn how to create conditions for diverse scholars to thrive and map your career trajectory to take on more leadership roles that prepare you for your next most faithful step. The world needs wise, courageous, and faithful theological executives like you to shape the next generation of leaders for the church, academy, and society.

Want to use professional development dollars toward this course? FTE can provide invoices prior to enrollment launch upon request. Contact Heather B.P. Wallace with details.
