We believe that congregations make a difference in the lives of people and communities.
Since our founding by Lilly Endowment Inc. in 2008 under the name "Leadership Education at Duke Divinity," we have aimed to strengthen Christian institutions that enable U.S. congregations and pastors to flourish. In 2026, we publicly launched a new identity for this work under our new name: Forum for Congregational Life.
