Ministry Scholarship
The Madison Church of Christ Ministry Scholarship is offered to students who are training to serve the Church in ministry. The purpose of this scholarship is to encourage and equip students from our church who are pursuing a Bible college education with the intention of entering full-time Christian ministry. By supporting their training, we seek to invest in future leaders who will proclaim the gospel, shepherd the church, and carry out the Great Commission both locally and globally. Through this scholarship, our church affirms its commitment to raising up faithful workers for God’s kingdom and extending the influence of Christ’s reign around the world.
