ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½'s Day of Giving
1,742 Minutes. One Mission. Limitless Impact.
This 11th annual Day of Giving, we’re going ALL IN for our students—undergraduate, graduate, and seminary alike. Every course, late-night study session, ministry placement, activity, and sport prepares them for reflective lives and transformative leadership in the world.
On Wednesday, March 25, 8 a.m. – Thursday, March 26, 1:02 p.m. Help us achieve $200,000 for our students! For 1,742 minutes, every gift counts. The ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ Scholarship Fund and the MTS Fund are among our most pressing needs, making a ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ and ÐÔÊÀ½ç´«Ã½ Theological Seminary education accessible and enriching the full student experience. No matter what fund you choose, your support speaks directly to what matters most—our students.
