The Vital Worship Grants Program
for teacher-scholars is focused on
integrated research projects that
connect Christian worship with other
disciplines of study and practice—
liberal arts, theological education,
or sciences—and show promise
to serve worshiping communities
by strengthening public worship
practices. Teacher-scholars in many
disciplines have a unique role to
play in strengthening and nurturing
the life of Christian worshiping
communities and are encouraged to
apply. This includes seasoned, midcareer,
and newly emerging scholars;
full- and part-time professors, center
or institute program directors, and
pastors serving as instructors.

Grants to
worshiping
communities
The Vital Worship Grants Program
for worshiping communities is
focused on year-long projects that
connect worship to intergenerational
or intercultural faith formation and
Christian discipleship, a theme that can
unfold in many facets of worship from
Bible reading to preaching, public
prayer, baptism, the Lord’s Supper,
congregational song, visual arts,
storytelling, and more. We encourage
grant proposals developed through
a collaborative process. Any team of
people with leadership roles directly
related to the worship life of a church
or organization is encouraged to
apply. This includes pastors, educators,
church staff persons, church musicians,
artists, architects, actors, and dancers.
