Theology and Missions

STM Book Club

If you donate $500 or more during the calendar year, you will become part of the coming year's STM Book Club. Members of the Book Club will receive new books by faculty as they are released throughout the following year. For donations of $1,000 or more, you will become part of the coming year's Book Club in addition to receiving books from the current year. Thank you for supporting us as we seek to train a new generation of pastors, missionaries, church planters, Bible study leaders and biblically informed lay people to serve in various ways around the world.

Your gifts can be directed toward two funds:

• our STM Excellence Fund, which makes various events possible throughout the year, or
• the STM Faculty Scholarship Fund, which is a new fund established by our faculty to help provide student scholarships.

We hope you will take advantage of this unique way to not only give back to and support the School of Theology and Missions, but also allow us to keep in touch during the upcoming year through the Book Club. Thank you for supporting us as we seek to train a new generation of pastors, missionaries, church planters, bible study leaders, and biblically informed lay people to serve in various ways around the world.

Blessings to you,

Ray Van Neste
Dean and Professor of Biblical Studies
