At the recent annual meeting of the Second Wind Hall of Fame (SWHF), Lynn Montgomery, chair of scholarship grants, presented a $1,000 Scholarship grant to Lance Smith.
The grant funds will be applied toward his training course in pastoral leadership development, conducted by the Southern Conference of the United Church of Christ.
This is the second year increment of the financial assistance provided to Smith as he progresses to the professional level required for ordination in his faith.
Smith is able to pursue the training on a part time basis, while continuing his position as director of Christian education and youth at the Tryon Congregational Church.
