Rural Ministry Connections
Rural Ministry Connections is the blog of the Project on Rural Ministry at Grove City College.
As its name implies, this forum is dedicated to connecting pastors, individuals, and organizations who care about the flourishing of rural pastors and churches to resources, ideas, and a larger community who share this common interest. At the PRM, we care about rural pastors. That’s why we are dedicated to fostering rural ministry connections that can resource rural pastors, amply their voices, and help them thrive along with the congregations and communities they serve. Thanks for joining the conversation!
