New Congregational Partnership in 2021
The new year brings a new partnership opportunity for congregations through Augsburg University’s Christensen Center for Vocation (CCV), supported by a new $1,000,000 grant Augsburg has been awarded through the Lilly Endowment’s Thriving Congregations Initiative.
The Riverside Innovation Hub, an initiative of CCV, will continue helping congregations live into placed-based vocational discernment in the public square for the common good through two-year learning communities of twelve congregations. The first learning community runs July 2021 – July 2023 and the second learning community runs September 2023 – September 2025.

Public Church Scholars
We are so excited about this new endeavor with the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. Students earn a B.A. and an M.Div in 5 years! Enrollment is open now so tell your juniors and seniors in high school about it.
This isn’t just a faster track towards ordination, it is a different approach to forming pastoral leaders.
