Become A Sustainer
Help Us Ensure Orthodox Seminary Is a Sustainable Vision
What does it mean to be a Sustainer? To us? Everything. Sustainers are choosing our seminary as an institution they want to succeed. Sustainers are serving God and neighbor as the core of our Church's higher education. Sustainers are giving back to the clergy who touch their lives and giving others the blessing of tremendous pastoral leadership.
Our Giving Tiers
Tiers of Joy
Our Lord has promised to "wipe away every tear" (Rev. 21:4) and shows us a vision of His Bride, His New Jerusalem, built on a foundation of precious stones. Our giving tiers, the "Tiers of Joy," remind us of the heavenly sights we anticipate and the precious foundations your generosity is helping build.
