Last Sunday in January
or a day of your choosing
For the last five years, over ninety percent of NTS graduates were already serving in local congregations. An investment in NTS is also an investment in the local church.
The Seminary Sunday offering benefits ministerial students—the seminarians—by enabling NTS to provide the finest theological education possible while keeping tuition low. Every dollar invested provides tuition assistance, student jobs, teacher salaries, faculty development, multicultural programs, continuing education, library books, technological services, school buildings, other necessities, and more!
