We understand that effective pastoral ministry will be enhanced if students are not burdened by significant financial indebtedness at graduation. To fulfill this commitment we call on all constituents to secure what our Synod has endorsed. Under God's grace and with the support of His church, our financial aid office is confident in meeting this pledge. For the provisions under which this goal is attainable, please contact our admissions and financial aid office. Financial aid information has been sent to all men who have indicated a desire to attend the seminary during the 1998-99 academic year.
Pastoral formation is the main emphasis of our seminary program.
These additional financial resources will allow men and their families to concentrate on what is important, Christ and His abundant grace, as their physical needs are met by the church and her people. In addition to standard financial aid sources, CTS also provides the Food and Clothing Co-ops. The Food Co-op provides many items that a household needs for daily living, such as canned and boxed goods, milk, cheese, fresh vegetables and bread, as well as cleaners and other necessities. Seminary families receive between 70 and 80 percent of their monthly groceries through this service. Furniture, household items, games, draperies and many other necessary items, along with a Christmas Emporium that provides gifts for the entire family every December, are also provided.
