Exploring Vocational Ministry

a mentoring grant program - fall 2021

Third Space is pleased to announce that we have received a small grant from the Forum for Theological Exploration (FTE) in Atlanta to fund a new mentoring program to begin this coming fall in the New York and New Jersey area entitled "Exploring Vocational Ministry" (EVM).

Are you sensing God's call? This program may be the opportunity you need to discern God's will and direction.  One chosen candidate will be mentored by their pastor or church leader over a five-month period as they engage in at least one ministry activity, self-assessment instruments and monthly one-on-one meetings with their mentor. Both the mentor and mentee will receive a stipend for their participation and both will co-author with Third Space a final summary and report for the benefit of the local congregation, Third Space and FTE.  Applications with a pastoral or lay leader recommendation are required. No candidates have been identified yet, so the deadline is "open until filled." Click below to download:

Attention: pastors and church leaders!
Is there someone in your congregation or fellowship in whom you see “potential” or someone you would like to mentor? This program is for you. Third Space will provide the structure and accountability to make it work. Studies show that the best future ministers are those who are raised up and mentored from within.
