Our Campaign Initiatives
The Transforming Together campaign will enhance the student experience in person and online by increasing scholarships, providing an improved learning environment, and expanding our ability to provide gospel-centered education anywhere, anytime, to anyone who desires to increase their effectiveness in leadership service with and for the church.
Scholarships
Transformation Fund ($500K)
The Transformation Fund addresses seminary affordability by providing dedicated resources to subsidize the student’s tuition cost. Every dollar given to the Transformation Fund means the student pays less tuition. It reduces the level of debt the student incurs and is an investment in the student’s ministry. Western’s Transformation Fund aims to subsidize one-third of tuition expenses for each student.
Modernize Classrooms
Upgrade of Bueermann Hall ($1M)
Bueermann Hall is Western’s educational hub, housing the school’s classrooms and faculty offices. Built in 1971, the building needs significant upgrades, including classroom improvements, ADA bathrooms, an elevator, and an updated HVAC system.
Technology
Upgrade our Digital Infrastructure ($1M)
Digital infrastructure lies at the heart of Western’s ability to deliver consistent, high-quality education. Our current system needs significant upgrades to meet the present and future needs of our students.
Operational Support
Annual Fund ($2M)
Affordability is the leading challenge facing seminary education. The cost of delivering a quality education makes it difficult for today’s students and their families. Western is committed to tackling the issue of affordability head-on by helping students make responsible decisions about paying for school so their future in ministry won’t be hindered. Gifts given to the Annual Fund enable the school to keep tuition as affordable as possible.
