2023 Mission Fund: The Sovereign Grace Pastors College

The Sovereign Grace Pastors College began with the goal of  teaching men how to build their lives and families and churches upon the gospel of Jesus Christ. By the grace of God and through the work of Jeff Purswell, Dean of the Pastors College, in particular, we have enjoyed years of fruitful labor in this part of our mission. 

The Pastors College ambition for the lives of their graduates is captured by 10 traits--men who:

  • Savor the beauty of Christ above all else

  • Pursue the exaltation of God’s glory in all things

  • Marvel that their sins are forgiven

  • Trust fully in the power of God’s Word to change lives

  • Rely wholly on the power of the Holy Spirit

  • Delight in loving and leading their families

  • Count caring for God’s people a staggering privilege

  • Love and pursue the lost

  • Value the strength, joy, and humility that team ministry brings

  • Find steadfast resolve in Christ’s promise to build his church

Our most recent mission fund video highlights a few recent graduates. They share their experience at the Pastors College and how the training equipped them for ministry in their local church. 

I'm excited to share this one with you because it represents years of prayers, as well as an incalculable number of hours of hard work by Jeff Purswell and our Pastors College Staff. Their labors are one of the ways we live out our shared value of being committed to gospel-centered doctrine and preaching. 

Please take 10 minutes to watch this video and consider financially giving to Sovereign Grace Churches. Your generosity now is an investment into our future pastors who are being equipped to continue the work of advancing the gospel for the glory of Christ alone.
