Leadership Bursaries

MCM LEADERSHIP BURSARIES/FUNDS OVERVIEW

Applications received by June 1 each year will be considered and funds will be dispersed in July. Applications can be sent by mail to Mennonite Church Manitoba or by email to office@mennochurch.mb.ca

Funds are administered by MCM Leadership Ministries. Monies are invested with Abundance Canada and bursary amounts are awarded based on earnings of the funds. We also attempt to invest in in the funds as possible and invite any donations.

ABRAM G. NEUFELD MINISTER AND MISSIONARY EDUCATION FUND

The goal of the Abram G. Neufeld Minister and Missionary Education Fund is to provide financial support to pastors and missionaries who would like to further their training.

The Abram G. Neufeld Fund is committed to assist persons seeking full-time or part-time pastoral or missionary education on a graduate level.  Priority will be given to those already actively involved in some facet of ministry (pastoral, missionary, or institutional) in Mennonite Church Manitoba.

JAKE AND DOROTHY PAULS PASTORAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING FUND

The idea for this fund grew out of a vision of Jake Pauls that the training of pastors should be given high priority in the Mennonite church. The purpose of this fund, therefore, is to support leadership training for people who are called to pastoral ministry and who are in a program of study with an Anabaptist/Mennonite focus.

Those who apply are eligible for up to $2,500 per year, dependent on the earnings of the fund.

JOHANN FUNK MEMORIAL FUND

The Johann Funk Memorial Fund provides interest-free loans to students who desire theological training. An applicant may borrow up to a maximum of $1,500 per year and make a maximum of two consecutive loans, capping each loan for any one student at $3,000.

Preference will be given to students registered at a Mennonite Church Manitoba associated school.
