How Will They Hear?

This 1 minute and 45 second video clip designed for use in meetings highlights the connection between our seminaries and churches working together to develop leaders for the mission-minded church. Without mission-minded leaders the church cannot grow and spread the gospel. Our PC(USA) seminaries are vital partners in this ministry and deserve our support. Use this video as an introduction to spark conversation about seminary support.

 
     
   
 

Together, your seminaries ...

  • Provide continuing education for clergy and lay leaders
  • Provide doctorate-level programs for ministers of the Word and Sacrament
  • Serve as centers of research, theological discourse and reflection for the benefit of the wider church
  • Work with congregations, presbyteries and other educational institutions as consultants and advisors on issues and concerns of the church
