Pastoral Ministry Excellence Initiative

The Pastoral Ministry Excellence (PME) program was started with a grant initiative from Lilly Endowment to address Economic Challenges Facing Indiana Pastors (ECFIP).

The Lilly Endowment vision is to address the Economic Challenges Facing Indiana Pastors by focusing on these four areas:
1. Inform congregational leaders about the conditions pastors face economically
2. Provide financial educational programs for clergy
3. Create a pool of funds to address identified needs so pastors can prosper
4. Build financial and organizational resources to sustain the initiative

The Lilly Endowment provided initial funding. Now the Yearly Meeting has begun a fundraising program to make the program self-sustaining. Please help our pastors by supporting the PME program.

Nurture Questionnaire
WYM Board on Meeting Development
and Nurture

The Western Yearly Meeting Board on Meeting Development and Nurture is looking for ways to carry out the "nurture" part of its responsibilities. Faith and Practice calls for the Board "to be an extensive resource to existing meetings within the yearly meeting."

Anytime you are looking for guidance, want to know what other Meetings are doing to reach others, or just want to discuss some growth ideas, we invite you to complete the questionnaire and enter into a discussion with the Board.
NOTE: Board meetings are third Saturdays of January, May and September. If you are submitting a questionnaire please send at least two weeks prior to each scheduled meeting.
