THE ANNUAL FUND

Every year, Gammon Theological Seminary receives applications from some of the brightest and most faith-filled prospective students from across the country.

​

Every year, we admit individuals who show promise for ministry and scholarship. Every year, we hear from prospective students: “I would love to come to Gammon Theological Seminary, but I just don’t think I can afford it.”

​

Here’s where you can make a difference and change a life.

​

We want to be able to tell all admitted students that they can follow God’s call to a seminary education at Gammon because the friends and alumni of Gammon Theological Seminary have supported the Annual Fund. Your gift helps support students through financial aid, research opportunities, and faculty programs.

WAYS TO GIVE

You Make Our Work Possible. Every university relies on the generous spirit of its alumni and community—and Gammon is no different. We wouldn’t be able to continue training the next generation of ministry leaders without your contributions and support.

WILBUR P. THIRKIELD, D.D., 1891

“All of Elijah H. Gammon’s was a great soul filled with love for humanity, and a firm and well-formed purpose to incarnate his life in a form that should live for the cause of God and man, thus perpetuate his ministry that was cut short. He deliberately set his mind to the task of choosing the field of his beneficence.

BENEFITS OF BEING A DONOR

Eugine Boger

One of the challenges with higher education as a whole is that quite a few of our students finish higher education in debt. That often prevents them to freely pursue their calling and vocation. When persons are generous enough to see beyond their own circumstance and advance in education so that others will be able to make an impact, I think it is well worth it.

Julia Allen

These are going to be the next leaders who will be able to address reconciliation and racism. They will be able to provide a path of healing. When you give to Gammon, you give to your future, your children’s future, and your grandchildren’s future.

Kylan Pew

If someone was thinking about giving to Gammon Theological Seminary, I would say this is the best place. The ground is so rich with life. To not only be the future of the black church but to be future of the United Methodist Church.

Bert Neal

I don’t want to see Gammon lose the luster that it has both in the community and the city. And I think that if we don’t give back, that’s going to be lost. We have to give back to the school that birthed us to be who we are in the life of the church.
