Tow Preaching Fellowship

In the spring of 2016, Emmanuel College and Metropolitan United Church together launched the Tow Preaching Fellowship. This $3,000 bursary, which is awarded annually, is to help support a sabbatical at Emmanuel College focused on excellence in preaching. The deadline is February 1 and June 1 each year. 

Emmanuel College invites ministry professionals to spend from a week to a term, or anything in between, refilling their spiritual well through self-directed study, worship and prayer on the Emmanuel College and Victoria University campus.

This Sabbatical or Study-Leave program is available to ministry professionals who reside in Canada, and who wish to take a week or more to read, reflect and re-energize at Emmanuel College. Clergy, Christian educators, church musicians, lay professionals, parish nurses, youth ministers, etc. are invited to inquire by e-mailing ec.events@utoronto.ca

More information on the Tow Preaching Fellowship.  

This program is available to Canadian residents. If you are applying from outside Canada, you need a connection to the College or the United Church of Canada. Please email ec.events@utoronto.ca for more information.
