Meet the
Lolley Scholars
P
roviding support and scholarship assistance to students engaged in theological education is an important part of the work of CBFNC. Supported by an endowment fund established by CBFNC in 2008 to honor Randall and Lou Lolley, the Lolley Scholarships are our most comprehensive scholarships that provide perpetual funding of theological education for future ministers. Through individual and congregational gifts to the endowment fund, CBFNC is able to support four to five outstanding students for all three years of their M.Div. program. Please join us in congratulating the following 2020-2021 Lolley Scholarship recipients. TANNER BROWN Master of Divinity at Campbell University Divinity School First Baptist, New Bern, NC
SEAN TIMMONS Master of Divinity at Duke University Divinity School First Baptist, Huntersville, NC
LUKE PERRIN Master of Divinity at Duke University Divinity School Jubilee Baptist, Chapel Hill, NC
ELIZABETH SWETT Master of Divinity at Duke University Divinity School First Baptist, Gainesville, GA
The goal of the Lolley Fund for Theological Education is to support men and women preparing for Christian ministry who are enrolled in seminaries or divinity schools and who have a commitment to serving in Baptist congregations and ministries. Candidates for the scholarships must be nominated by someone who can speak to her or his outstanding promise for Christian ministry and excellent potential for graduate-level work. Consider making a gift to the Lolley Fund for Theological Education. Your generosity will create a legacy that will impact ministers and congregations for years to come.
Visit cbfnc.org and click on the word “give” at the very top of the home page. On the donation form, look for “Where would you like to direct your gift?” Choose “Randall and Lou Lolley Endowment for Theological Education” from the menu of options.
Your support is essential to providing theological education to future Baptist ministers! Fall 2020
