Why Support Theological Education?

One of the hallmarks of our Presbyterian identity is an educated clergy, making necessary the partnership between our church and our seminaries. Congregations rely on effective, prepared leadership, requiring not only well-grounded, practiced, and studied leaders but also accompanying academies of learning and exploration astute in theology, biblical studies, pastoral care, and education. The Theological Education Fund is our denomination’s only funding source for our seminaries, and the Seminary Support Network was created to nurture relationships and congregational giving. By giving to TEF we support our churches’ ministry and its future by helping our church keep its commitment to assuring that Christ’s ministry continues among us always. Won’t you join me in supporting the work of our seminaries and TEF?
