Current Scholarship Recipients
SIM is proud to announce its new Becoming Beloved Community scholars for the 2020-2021 Academic Year who are each answering the call to leadership in a New Church for a New World. We look forward to their companionship over the next three years and to the contributions they will each make to the life of the church.
