Marilyn Lerch, coordinator of the Training In Ministry (TRIM) program
of the Brethren Academy for Ministerial Leadership, will conclude her
half-time position on Dec. 31 as a result of staff reconfiguration at
the academy. She will continue as half-time pastor of Bedford (Pa.)
Church of the Brethren.
During her 13 years as TRIM coordinator, Lerch worked with more than
170 TRIM students and coordinated 20 orientations for almost 200 TRIM
and EFSM (Education for a Shared Ministry) students. She worked with
district TRIM coordinators in most of the 23 districts in the Church of
the Brethren. Her master’s degree in education from Virginia Tech, a
master of divinity from Bethany Theological Seminary, and teaching and
pastoral experiences provided skills needed to implement major changes
in the TRIM program.
The Brethren Academy for Ministerial Leadership is a ministry
training partnership of the Church of the Brethren and Bethany
Theological Seminary. TRIM courses serve ministry training students and
provide a continuing education option for pastors. Based on the Bethany
campus in Richmond, Ind., the Brethren Academy’s onsite and online
learning have made Brethren training available for students from coast
to coast.
