The PCA Foundation announced the appointment of Sheldon Nordhues as Vice President of Advancement. In his new role, Nordhues will be responsible for leading and promoting the Foundation’s relationships with donors, churches, and other stakeholders.
“This is a well-deserved promotion, and important for the Foundation’s continued work to enable PCA members and other Christians to give more and more wisely to advance and manifest the Kingdom,” said Tim Townsend, president of the PCA Foundation. “God has blessed Sheldon with a heart for the mission of the Church to proclaim the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, a sincere desire to assist Christian givers, PCA churches, and Reformed ministries, and a mind to master quickly the technical tax-efficient giving strategies we teach and facilitate. Sheldon’s hard work and dedication have been primary contributors to the Foundation’s extraordinary growth.”
Nordhues was hired to work at the Foundation in 2024 as a Giving Strategist. In this role, Nordhues advises donors on how to make tax-efficient gifts that enable them to give more to support their favorite ministries and charitable organizations. He has also served churches by educating congregants on complex gifts.
In his new role, Nordhues will be charged with overseeing donor engagement. His areas of responsibility will include marketing, giving strategies, church engagement, and external relations. The executive committee of the Foundation board enthusiastically endorses Sheldon’s promotion which requires an examination by the Theological Examining Committee of the General Assembly before it is final.
“My life mission statement is to ‘Help God’s people give God’s resources to God’s mission,’” said Nordhues. “I want to see the body of Christ being radically generous to support the work that the Lord is doing in many areas of the world. Whether the local PCA church plant or the work of organizations like MTW, I want to encourage strategic, generous giving through complex giving strategies.”
An experienced fundraiser and financial advisor, Nordhues brings a blend of corporate and non-profit experience to this role. Prior to serving at the Foundation, he served as Director of Development at Reformed Theological Seminary in Atlanta.
