Ministerial Excellence Fund

MEF applications are being accepted through April 15th, 2025.

The Ministerial Excellence Fund was established by the CME Church to help alleviate financial challenges that Pastoral leaders face while devoted to ministry.  The funds come from the Lilly Foundation grant and funds committed by the CME Church.  A small team of retired CME preachers will review the submissions under the leadership of Bishop Sylvester Williams, Sr.  The confidential application process will open after the last live class. Please check the module labeled Application for updates.

The application will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Before you begin, please have all relevant documents saved to your desktop or available to upload in a PDF format.
