Salem Congregation establishes $500,000 scholarship fund

Special thanks to the Salem Congregation of Winston-Salem, NC, for establishing a $500,000 scholarship fund to assist Moravian students attending the Seminary.

The new scholarship fund, created in February 2008, will directly support room, board and other living expenses of students from the Southern Province of the Moravian Church. According to Ann Gibson, assistant director of Vocation and Enrollment, the fund has already assisted several students with their housing and living expenses during its inaugural semester.

The Salem Congregation consists of 12 Moravian churches in Winston-Salem, NC: Ardmore, Bethesda, Calvary, Christ, Fairview, Fries Memorial, Home, Immanuel-New Eden, Konnoak Hills, Messiah, Pine Chapel, and Trinity. It provides a joint ministry through its union services, including the Watchnight, Great Sabbath Service, Easter Sunrise Service, and Anniversary Lovefeast. Salem Congregation also provides stewardship of the properties entrusted to it, some of which include Salem Square, God’s Acre, the Brothers’ House, old St. Philips Church, and the Archives House.
