"The racial ethnic schools
and colleges of the Presbyterian Church offer a training ground
by which leadership development can take place, where racial ethnic
people can gain the confidence and skills that they need to go
out into the broader society and take their place."
- Rev. Curtis Kearns, Jr.
Racial Ethnic Schools and Colleges relates by covenant to the General Assembly Council of the PC(USA) through Collegiate Ministries. Each college welcomes students of any
racial, ethnic or cultural background. The Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.) helps to support the racial ethnic schools
and colleges through the Christmas
Joy Offering. This offering is shared 50% with the Board
of Pensions.
The Office of
Racial Ethnic Schools and Colleges is supported primarily through
contributions to the Christmas
Joy Offering.
