The Focused Pastor Scholarship

The Master's University, in partnership with The Focused Pastor, aims to equip and support students pursuing a lifelong devotion to ministry, whether as lay leaders in the church, full-time pastoral work, or serving as another member of the body. We believe in nurturing the next generation of focused and effective church leaders to strengthen America's churches and build up the Body of Christ.

 

The Master’s University is partnering with Focus on the Family to help recognize and develop students defend and proclaim the biblical truths about marriage, the family, and all of Christian living. We are searching for students who have the courage and willingness to defend the inerrancy, authority, and sufficiency of Scripture, and who can develop a careful analysis and evaluation of information and ideas while carrying forth an unashamed proclamation of the Gospel of Christ.
