Applications for the 2026-2028 Clergy Cohort with Faithful Preaching Project are now open!

The past two months, the Sharing Faith Initiative has offered workshops in each of its grant programs, and we have had some incredible leaders. If you didn’t get a chance to attend, here’s what you missed.

You are cordially invited to an in-person workshop at Austin Seminary on February 20, 2026. The Faithful Preaching Project is delighted to welcome Dr. Jared Alcantara.

That’s a lot to hope for in the coming months with the Sharing Faith Initiative! Keep tuning in to our monthly newsletters to learn how you can participate and hear how we are seeing signs of these hopes and dreams become a reality.

Our hearts are full thinking of all the many people who have blessed us this year and who have led to our faithful flourishing! Many blessings to all of you and the ministries you contribute to and the people you bless through your care and energy.

Over the last month, the Sharing Faith Initiative team has had the opportunity to participate in multiple events. We are excited to bring what we are learning from these conferences and conversations into our cohorts and workshops in the new year and beyond.  

Join us for an online workshop with Carol Wehrheim where we will learn about her method for re-telling Bible stories during worship.

The Listening Tour has launched and we are already seeing its impact at local churches and in our research. Children in Worship Cohorts have open applications and there’s still time to sign up for the upcoming workshop.

Join our work through the Listening Tour, workshops, and beyond. The Sharing Faith Initiative looks forward to working with preachers and faith communities throughout Texas & beyond.

Sharing words of faith and comfort to our friends in Central Texas and beyond.
