“It is important that those who are to be ordained as teaching elders receive full preparation for their task under the direction of the presbytery. For this purpose, a presbytery shall enter into covenant relationship with those preparing to become teaching elders and with their sessions and congregations.”

(Book of Order G-2.0601)

A limited number of funds are available for scholarships each year (i.e. CPE application fees and registration, psychological evaluation, seminary tuition, or ordination exam fees). These must be seminary-related requests. Before applying, discuss your needs with your support person or group at your church and your CPM liaison.
