Adopt a Seminarian (San Francisco Theological Seminary)

Goal: Provide support to SFTS students studying to become pastors, educators and church leaders.

The SFTS "Adopt a Seminarian" program enables congregations and church-related organizations to "adopt" a seminarian. Here's a great way for your church or church group to meet one of the students at SFTS preparing to serve the church in Christ's name. Your gift of any amount will strengthen the Seminary's Student Support Fund, which provides resources for student financial aid, subsidized student housing, classrooms and faculty salaries. Sponsor a seminarian today, receive a student profile, and deepen your relationship with SFTS.
