About the Office of Church Relations

The mission of the Church Relations unit is to promote constructive and collaborative relationships between ACU and its supporting congregations. The Office of Church Relations exists to deliver the resources and services of the faculty and staff in the College of Biblical Studies to ACU's ministry partners  - churches, church leaders and ministers. It serves as the link between ACU and churches in providing the multiple assets of information, research, resources and services to churches and in responding to the multiple needs, requests and inquiries from church leaders and ministers.

Dr. Charles Siburt serves as the associate dean for Ministry Programs and Services and as the Frazer Professor of Church Enrichment in the Graduate School of Theology. He leads the ElderLink ministry and the Ministers Support Network ministry, administers the annual Ministers Salary Survey, manages the Churches Looking for Interim Preaching Ministers list, and provides consulting services to churches.
