Giving Day 2025

At LSTC, students from diverse backgrounds are preparing to become bold, compassionate leaders for the church and the world. Yet, for many, the financial burden of theological education stands in the way of fully answering their call.

This Giving Day, your gift goes even further.

Thanks to a generous 2:1 matching gift from longtime friends and supporters Larry and Christie Tietjen, every dollar you give will be tripled—up to $100,000. It’s a historic move for a historic moment—this kind of match has never happened before at LSTC.

Your generosity provides scholarships that transform dreams into reality, ensuring that students can focus on their spiritual and academic growth without the weight of overwhelming debt.

When you give to the LSTC scholarship fund, you’re not just supporting education—you’re investing in the future of ministry. Scholarships make it possible for students to:

• Engage deeply in their studies and formation.
• Serve in diverse and challenging contexts without hesitation.
• Bring innovative, faithful leadership to the church and the world.

“This scholarship is more than a financial gift—it’s an affirmation of my calling and a reminder that I am not alone on this journey.”
