Bill Mason Scholarship Fund

The word Pastor evokes images of someone who guides, nurtures, gives vision and solidly leads a congregation as they seek to know and serve God. Pastors are critical to the development and growth of churches that honor God. Churches that honor God are critical to the wellbeing of our families and therefore our country. Asbury Theological Seminary (ATS) seeks to train pastors who will develop healthy, growing churches that honor God and shine His light to a dark world.

The Bill Mason Scholarship Fund, set up in honor of Bill Mason, who successfully and faithfully served as the Senior Pastor of Asbury United Methodist Church for 29 years, is a permanent endowment that will support the seminary education of pastoral candidates attending Asbury Theological Seminary (ATS). Because the stated beliefs of ATS are consistent with those of Asbury United Methodist Church, donors are assured that the intent of the fund will be protected over the long term. Priority will be given to Asbury United Methodist Church members, but the scholarship will not be limited to those students.
