    Summary

    The Louisville Institute offers pastoral leaders the opportunity and resources to investigate issues related to Christian life, faith, and ministry. Through its Pastoral Study Project (PSP) program, the institute enables pastoral leaders to bracket daily work routines in order to pursue a pressing and significant question for the life of faith.


    Grants will be awarded in support of independent or collaborative study projects that privilege pastoral perspectives and rhythms and honor grassroots research conducted by skilled clergy. PSP grantees may use a variety of platforms to share what they learn with a wider audience, extending their leadership in ways that can benefit the broader church and culture in North America.
