New Chapel Fund to Support Seminarians


Part of the Chapel's mission is to accompany students in their discernment in ministry and work in the church. We are honored to be a place where students, faculty, and staff from PLTS and the seminaries of the GTU worship and build community. And we are blessed to be able to support students and seminarians on their journey.

The Council has become aware of special financial needs that these students encounter as they engage the candidacy process within the ELCA and therefore has established a Seminary Students' Designated Fund to provide loans in support of the journey. Chapel members are invited to contribute money to the fund. Seminary students will be able to request the fund for needs related to their education and professional development. The money will be granted to the seminarians with the agreement that they will repay the money to the fund as they are able.

The Pastor will have authority to distribute the funds, the Council will oversee the fund's use. Contribute by check to the Chapel with Seminary Students' Fund in the memo line.
