As Bexley Seabury Seminary celebrates two centuries of spiritual leadership and academic excellence, we invite you to play a pivotal role in this historic moment by becoming a sponsor of our 200th Anniversary Gala. This is a unique opportunity to align with our mission during a landmark year, showcasing your commitment to theological education and ministry.

• Empowering Students through Scholarships: Support students who are pursuing their divine calling without the burden of financial constraints. Your sponsorship helps open educational pathways for students from diverse backgrounds, enabling them to bring their enriched knowledge and passion back to their communities and the Episcopal Church at large.

• Sustaining Current Programs: Your contribution is vital in maintaining and enhancing our foundational theological courses, spiritual formation activities, and community engagement efforts. These programs are crucial for providing a robust and comprehensive education, preparing students for impactful ministry.

• Fueling Innovative Programming: Sponsorship funds enable the launch of new and transformative programs like our Mentor Assessed Path (MAP) Master of Divinity (MDiv) Program, which broadens access to theological education for historically marginalized groups. These initiatives equip our students to become leaders who foster meaningful dialogue and actions that promote thriving communities. Learn more about the MAP Program.

• Supporting Faculty Excellence: Our distinguished faculty are central to our mission. Your support ensures their ongoing professional development, helping them stay at the cutting edge of theological education and scholarship. This directly enhances the educational experiences of our students, who go on to inspire and educate within their own communities.

• Advancing Technology and Online Learning: As the “Seminary Beyond Walls,” we are committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance our online learning platforms. This investment ensures that our students can engage deeply with their studies from anywhere, bringing innovative solutions to their ministry contexts.
