2027 APCE EVENT SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE

Palo Duro Presbytery has five scholarships of $1,000 each available to help pastors, educators, commissioned pastors, youth leaders, and volunteers from our churches attend the 2027 APCE Annual Event, January 27–30 in Portland, Oregon.

This year’s theme, inspired by Ezekiel 37, is “Can These Bones Live? Rediscovering What Matters.” The gathering will offer worship, keynote speakers, over 70 workshops, conversation, and fellowship focused on the ministry of Christian education and faith formation.

Scholarships are awarded on a reimbursable basis and may be used toward APCE membership, registration, lodging, transportation, and other conference-related expenses, up to $1,000. These scholarships are funded by donations to Better Together for Christ specifically designated to encourage APCE attendance.

If you or someone in your church would benefit from this opportunity, we invite you to apply.

PDP’s APCE Scholarship Application Deadline: Noon, November 6

A fillable application is available. See the link on the right.  Please send your completed application as an attachment to melissa@paloduropresbytery.org. Please do not send a photo of the application.

You may also apply online.

The Early Bird registration deadline is November 15, so scholarship recipients will be notified in time to take advantage of the lower registration rate.

As CCE SarahLee Morris reminds us, the APCE Annual Event is a wonderful opportunity to learn, worship, and connect with others who are helping people grow in faith. Our own Palo Duro participants have found the experience deeply valuable.

If you have questions, please contact SarahLee Morris at sarahleemorris@hotmail.com or 806-441-1346.

We hope you’ll prayerfully consider this opportunity. As we continue to strengthen Christian formation across Palo Duro Presbytery, may we discover again how much we can do better together for Christ.
