News & Insights

Are you an embedded theological school looking to make significant changes at your school — or improve on the good work that you’re already doing? Looking to enhance your board's development? The Wise Stewards Initiative is an opportunity for theological school boards to learn how to use governance as a change agent for improving their school and their own development. Participating schools will be paired with a governance coach and have the opportunity to learn as part of a cohort of peer institutions.

To learn more about the Wise Stewards Initiative, or to apply to participate, visit

This initiative is generously funded by a grant from the M. J. Murdock Charitable Trust.
