ACU launches Siburt Institute
ABILENE, Texas — Abilene Christian University has launched the Siburt Institute for Christian Ministry, named in honor of the late Charles Siburt.
Royce Money, ACU’s chancellor and former longtime president, will serve as the institute’s executive director.
The institute will connect churches and their leaders with ACU’s counseling, job placement, research and training resources, leaders said.
Siburt, one of ACU’s leading voices in churches for more than 20 years, died in July. He had served as vice president of church relations, director of the Doctor of Ministry program and O.L. and Irene Frazer Professor of Church Enrichment.
“We can’t replace him, but we can honor him by building upon the excellent foundation he built here through ElderLink, Ministers Support Network and other successful efforts,” ACU President Phil Schubert said.
