Activity Or Mission DescriptionCTS has a strong confessional heritage and an evangelical reverence for the force and beauty of the gospel of Jesus Christ in all its riches. CTS has her own character, and offers a solid program of studies, a stout platform of Bible, theology, history, apologetics, and missions on which to build her ministry. We offer students, ministers, and worship leaders first-class education and continuing education in preaching and worship in a welcoming atmosphere with a manageable workload where learning is inside a cradle of grace. We share a Reformed vision of an interconnected Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Consummation, with Jesus Christ at the center, and the people of God as the witnesses, agents, and models of God's purpose to make all things new. These characteristics give CTS a mission in the world to lend her particular passions and strengths so that the Spirit may inspire all to declare God's purpose in the world and to make it their own.ActivityOrMissionDescription

DescriptionThe FYF program is intended to be a service CTS provides to the congregations and leaders of the CRCNA. It offers 35 bright, spiritually mature high school seniors with leadership potential the opportunity to explore vocational ministry. The program is designed to give the participants an arena in which to further discern whether or not they are called into ministry. The overarching objective of the program is to increase not only interest in vocational ministry, but also the actual number of young people training for and ultimately entering ordained ministry in the CRCNA. The program was funded by the Lilly Endowment in the amount of $218,577 for calendar years 2007 through 2010. The Lilly Foundation also gave the FYF program $100,000 for it's endowment and $250,000 for a 5-year program to be used beginning in Fiscal Year 2012.Description

ExplanationFor all of our scholarship recipients, the funds are deposited with the degree granting institution for the benefit of the tuition charges incurred by the student. We follow the graduate program progress through reports from the students including major papers or other samplings of their academic work. Ordinarily, the extent of support does not exceed two years. For our grant recipients, funds are primarily disbursed through Seminary graduates acting in their missionary capacity. In some program instances, we also receive reports on the training program, and the site is visited by the program director or designee to review program results and at times to participate in the training events. In the case of cross-cultural internships which are a component of the Ministry Formation M.Div. program and our Master's programs, need is determined by application process, supervisors are interviewed, provided with training and advice, then subsequent to the internship, reports are provided from supervisors on the performance of the student intern, and students also report on the experience and the use of the fund upon return. The Facing Your Future program sends chaperons to accompany participants, who observe the use of funds, then the organizations provide summary of expenses which are reviewed by the program director. The Bavinck Institute sent funding to sponsor a sister-Seminary's reformed theological chair in Europe.Explanation
