Church Leadership Golf Tournament

Nelson University created the Sutton Family Church Leadership Golf Tournament to raise awareness of the University’s Church Leadership Degree Scholarship fund.

Area pastors, church staff, and Nelson University alumni compete for top golf prizes, a year of bragging rights, and learn all about Nelson students who major in Church Leadership degree programs and the University's charge to inspire more young men and women to answer the call to church ministry. Gary Sutton, chairman of the commission on advancement, shares the vision behind the Church Leadership Degree Scholarship fund and why he and his family have committed $100,000 annually to Nelson students. Nelson University wants to see 100 churches participate in the golf tournament over the next 5 years of The 2027 Project.
