Empower Future Leaders with the Gift of Education

Your Support Makes Answering the Call Possible

We did it! Thanks to your generous donations, we have reached our $50,000 Giving Day goal!

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve met our $50,000 Giving Day goal—and with the 2:1 match from the Tietjen Family Foundation, your impact has been tripled!

There’s still time to make a gift and help us continue growing scholarship support for LSTC students. Every additional dollar advances our mission of preparing leaders for ministry, service, and justice.

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.
