As the need for our faith to be courageous in this time and place only increases, the Colson Center Board of Directors believes that God has uniquely called the Colson Center to the great task of equipping Christians for this specific cultural moment.

It is my honor to chair this Board, which has such an incredible mix of diverse skills, experience, and Godly wisdom. On behalf of the other Directors, thank you for your partnership and support, demonstrated by your financial contributions and prayers. It is our responsibility and privilege to oversee the ministry’s strategic transformation, particularly during this period of rapid change in our culture.

We are committed to stewarding those resources that are invested in the future growth and development of the Colson Center, and to continue this work in equipping Christians to live with clarity, confidence, and courage … right here and right now.

In His Service, Eric Pillmore, Chairman of the Board
