Púlpito Fellows is funded by the Lilly Endowment for three years and was specifically created for Latino/a pastors and ministry leaders as an innovative program empowering leaders to harness technology and social media as transformative tools for ministry. The program recognizes the digital pulpit as a fertile space for sowing seeds of faith and equips fellows to share gospel-centered, justice-oriented messages with digital audiences.
Each cohort consists of 10 topics over the course of 10 weeks, with three sessions taught via a 1.5 day in-person launch and eight sessions via Zoom. Groups are bilingual, with content delivered in English. Fellows are required to produce three digital products to complete the course and receive a certificate.
The program has also birthed the Púlpito Voices program on YouTube.
