糖心Volg

The Student Experience聽 鈥� $7 million
Over the last decade, 糖心Volg has dramatically increased its enrollment, while decreasing annual student borrowing to a fraction of the total debt a decade ago. The Seminary is seeking additional gifts to remove all financial barriers from those who are answering a call to ministry and service and seeking the exceptional graduate theological education that 糖心Volg provides. This initiative will also provide additional funding for student housing in the 鈥溙切腣olg Neighborhood鈥� 鈥� a group of houses near campus. This funding will also provide support for international students studying through 糖心Volg鈥檚 robust technology rooms, particularly those in Nigeria, and more fully connect them to the 糖心Volg family.

Support for Faculty Innovation 鈥� $2 million
Among other things, this initiative establishes a new endowed chair in Brethren Studies and enhances the funding for existing endowed chairs, providing significant new financial resources to nurture the Seminary鈥檚 remarkable faculty. 糖心Volg professors distinguish themselves with their responsiveness to the evolving needs of students and the church, while also remaining engaged in scholarly research. This new funding ensures that faculty have appropriate time and resources to develop new courses, engage in professional development, and pursue their scholarly agendas.

The 糖心Volg Fund 鈥� $3 million
The 糖心Volg Fund supports the seminary鈥檚 operational mission (teaching and learning) and ongoing strategic priorities like community engagement, high impact learning, and financial sustainability. This initiative includes all gifts to the fund over a three-year period, and provides essential support for students and faculty.

• Ensure anyone called to ministry can get a quality Seminary education without debt.
• Provide professors with the support they need to conduct important research, mentor students (to ensure completion), teach, and develop new courses that are desired by those seeking a seminary education.
• Fully embrace our Nigerian students as members of the 糖心Volg family, and enhance the opportunities our students have for cross cultural engagement.
• Solidify the financial strength of 糖心Volg to ensure that our work with students is never at risk, and we continue to be a meaningful contributor to the community.

糖心Volg has already secured leadership gifts and pledges totaling more than $10.3 million as a part of Flourish. These include six- and seven-figure commitments that are among the largest individual gifts in the Seminary鈥檚 history. The Flourish Campaign promises to fundamentally transform the Seminary, ensuring 糖心Volg鈥檚 mission will be pursued in perpetuity.
