E. Stanley Jones Professors of Evangelism
Through an endowment, The Foundation for Evangelism provides funding to support the E. Stanley Jones Professors of Evangelism whose purpose is to train pastors in the importance and the skills of helping persons experience God’s transforming love through Jesus Christ. The Foundation supports 13 professorships at United Methodist-related seminaries and schools of theology around the globe. These professorships include 10 positions in the United States, one in Germany (Reutlingen), one in Russia (Moscow) and one in Zimbabwe (Mutare).
The primary focus of these professorships is classroom teaching for students in preparation for ministry in local churches. Most of this teaching occurs in Master of Divinity degree programs with an emphasis on forming ministers to enable growing congregations. In addition, several institutions provide education at the doctoral level, with our E. Stanley Jones Professors of Evangelism providing leadership. The presence of these thirteen professors results in an impact on the lives of millions of persons.
