Andover Newton Theological School is dedicated to serving the needs of the church and their communities, locally and globally, through the preparation of transformative pastoral and moral leaders. It is our hope that your process of discernment will lead you to make us one of your top philanthropic priorities.
While the first group of twelve students at Andover Seminary were fully funded through the foresight and generosity of Dr. John Philips of Exeter, today’s student is likely to graduate with nearly $20,000 of debt—a level of indebtedness that cannot be handled with the average salary of a new minister. Standing at the cusp of our bicentenary in 2007, we join with those who observed in 1907 that we "may feel confident that the pioneer seminary of New England…greets a new and greater day from Newton Hill." However, it is our challenge to make choosing ministry fiscally viable, to make the seminary a hospitable environment, and to secure the finest faculty. This work is too important, and the need too great, to do less. We need the financial support of the churches we serve, and of alumni/ae, friends, and agencies who care about the spiritual and ethical health of society, in order to do our job well.
Your investment in Andover Newton affirms our work in preparing a new generation of spiritual leaders for the church and wider community. Few gifts will have as much leverage on the issues congregations care about as those you make to theological education. The professional and lay leadership of churches, educational institutions, mission programs and outreach agencies all find their pathways of preparation through places like Andover Newton. In New England, Andover Newton is the place to send and to seek people who feel the call to serve. Won't you join us?
