How to Give
I am delighted to have been called as the 15th president of Wartburg Theological Seminary. Wartburg Seminary is home to me in a very fundamental sense; I had a wonderful formative experience as a student here, graduating in 1997, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to give back to a community that has given so much to me.
I invite you to offer your bold support to our mission. Every dollar received will provide direct support to a future pastor, deacon or public minister.
Your gift will bless not only individual students, but the whole church; please partner with us as we live into this exciting vision!
With gratitude,
Rev. Kristin Johnston Largen, Ph.D.
President

Start a conversation with Wartburg Seminary about Legacy Giving:
In forming valued leaders for mission and leadership service in the church, Wartburg is committed to the development of substantial financial resources for its mission and for the assistance of its students.
Wartburg is grateful and appreciates the generosity of its many graduates, friends, and congregations who provide financial resources to assist those preparing for leadership and service in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Each year students are awarded scholarships, based on financial aid eligibility, from the endowment earnings. We are proud to offer 100% of eligible students some level of scholarship support at Wartburg Seminary.
You can make your gift to a particular scholarship or the general scholarship fund by designating your online gift (note on “Scholarship” line) or mailed gift (in the memo line of the check or with an accompanying letter).
Gifts to the general endowment provide for the future of Wartburg Seminary by creating a stream of revenue that is long lasting.
Just like scholarships, a percentage of the endowment value is drawn and used to support the daily life and mission of Wartburg Seminary.
