About

Support Trinity Lutheran Seminary

At Trinity Lutheran Seminary at Capital University, belief is lived out through faith, learning, and service. We believe in forming leaders for Christ’s Church. Leaders who are called to serve their communities and share the Gospel in a changing world.

Today, our community comes together in that shared belief. During this 24-hour Day of Giving, alumni, friends, faculty, staff, church members, and supporters have the opportunity to strengthen Trinity's mission.

Gifts to the Trinity Fund sustain the seminary's daily work, supporting essential operations, infrastructure, and resources that enable our students to grow in faith and service. Because of the generosity of donors like you, Trinity is able to offer full-tuition scholarships to nearly all students, ensuring that those called to ministry can pursue their vocation without financial barriers.

Your support today helps ensure that Trinity continues to prepare leaders for Christ’s Church at work in the world.

Our goal is 35 donors today. Join us in supporting Trinity and the future of faithful leadership.

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your God in heaven." – Matthew 5:16
