Historic Matching Gift Announced for LSTC Giving Day 2025

Hands holding the LSTC logo like a globe. Text reads Giving Day - Called into the world.

We’re excited to share some truly inspiring news as we approach Giving Day on May 6: for the first time in LSTC’s history, every gift made to the scholarship fund will be matched two-to-one, up to $100,000—thanks to the extraordinary generosity of Larry and Christie Tietjen.

That means for every $1 you give, $3 will go directly to student scholarships.

The Tietjens, longtime friends and champions of LSTC, are offering this historic match to inspire a wave of generosity across the community. Their public support is a bold expression of faith in LSTC’s mission and in the students who are preparing to lead the church and world with courage, clarity, and compassion.

At LSTC, students from diverse backgrounds are answering the call to ministry, prophetic service, and public leadership. Your gift helps ensure they can pursue their formation without the burden of financial hardship—free to focus on deep theological engagement and vocational discernment.

“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.”

— Sharei Green, LSTC student

We invite you to be part of this milestone moment. On May 6, your gift will be tripled—multiplying your impact and helping students thrive in their callings. You can learn more about Giving Day 2025 here.
