  • Congregational Connections


    In August 2017 St. Peter's UCC decided to make the $5000 investment in their Associate Minister Becca Lockwood's participation as a Bethany Fellow. As Becca said, "St. Peter's has committed to paying the full scholarship - knowing that while I'm immediately benefitting it's a commitement to new clergy, the wider church, and the work Bethany Fellows is doing."


    Congregations who nurture young pastors form a ministry bond with  Bethany Fellows and Leaders as they realize their church will significanlty be a beneficiary of this ministry. Many of our incoming Fellows receive scholarships from their congregations, some receiving the full investment of $5000 per year.  Others are receiving 1/2 scholarships. And an increasing number of congregations include Bethany Fellows in their Outreach budgets or offer special occasion gifts. All scholarships and other contributions are greatly appreciated. 

  • Alum Gifts

    Grateful pastors do not easily forget the coaching/mentoring that helped “save their souls,” and find amazingly creative ways to express their gratitude. Many support Bethany financially and encourage their congregations to consider gifts as well.

  • Legacies, Bequests and Wills

    If you would like to offer a Special Gift to Bethany Fellows to commemorate a pastor’s special anniversary, celebrate a joyful church occasion, appreciate the faithful work of a ministry leader, or make a memorial gift, contact Kim Gage Ryan at kim@bethanyfellows.org or (573)489-2729.
