Transforming Covenants is a joint project of the Nebraska Conference of the United Church of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Nebraska, and Cotner Educational Ministries. Project funding has been provided by a grant from the Lilly Endowment for the purpose of sustaining and nurturing excellence in Ministry. It is the intention of our project to engage congregations, pastors, and the wider church in a new covenantal way of doing ministry together in which the gifts of all are utilized to upbuild the whole community of faith.
The four components:
The Lilly Endowment has announced a grant to fund a joint project of the 149 churches of the Nebraska Conference of the United Church of Christ and the Nebraska Region of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The grant is offered as part of the Endowments commitment to Sustaining Pastoral Excellence.
This project will be administered by a Project Oversight Team consisting of representatives of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Nebraska, Cotner College Educational Ministries, and the Nebraska Conference of the United Church of Christ. The Rev. Dr. George S. Worcester, former Conference Minister for the Nebraska Conference of the United Church of Christ, will serve as Project Director.
