Bridges of Faith is a campaign to build permanent endowments for scholarships and for the Fred B. Craddock Chair in Preaching. The increased endowments will fund scholarships for deserving students who evidence a call to ministry and who have been gifted with the intellectual skills to study at the graduate level; and the Craddock Chair will perpetuate funding for a professor of preaching.

Chester and Debbie Cadieux have committed $10 million to match every gift, dollar for dollar, thus doubling the span of every gift. In addition, they are paying the expenses related to the campaign.

During the quiet phase of the campaign, donors committed over $7 million in gifts and pledges, with pledge commitments extending up to 5 years. During the public phase, we were seeking $3 million in gifts from individuals, families, congregations, and foundations. In the final phase of the campaign, we are especially interested in funding the Craddock Chair.
