Give a Blessing at Harding University Graduate School of Religion

Your gifts to Harding University Graduate School of Religion form the foundation of the school’s financial stability. Without your support, the important work of training ministry leaders would be diminished.

The gifts you give support the school in three key areas, what we call the heart, mind and strength of the Graduate School’s fiscal responsibility.

Heart

Training excellent ministers is the heart of Harding University Graduate School of Religion. Students come from all over the world to improve their skills in ministry and to grow as leaders in God’s kingdom. To support today’s students, the graduate school needs today’s funds, otherwise known as unrestricted gifts. Your unrestricted gifts help meet immediate needs for scholarships, library and other academic resources, and the support systems that benefit students and their ministries today.

Mind

Students can train their minds only when they have the physical resources to do so. The physical plant of the library and the classroom building, for example, are centers for students to drink deeply from the well of God’s Word. But these facilities, like all capital resources, cannot be calculated into regular operating budgets. Your capital gifts help build a campus where studentsí minds are shaped into the mind of Christ.

Strength

The Graduate School’s strength depends largely on the strength of the students served here. Most students can afford advanced ministry training only with the support of scholarships provided by your gifts. Many of Harding Graduate School’s scholarship programs come from endowed funds, which are invested and the interest funds student scholarships. You may give endowed funds into one of our existing scholarship funds, or you may ask about starting your own endowment, perhaps in honor of a loved one. As you strengthen endowed scholarships, you strengthen generations of students dedicated to building up the church.

Which of these three areas is most important? In reality, all are important. If we remove any one of the three, then we risk a fiscal imbalance.

You have the option of designating your gifts to Harding University Graduate School of Religion into these three areas. If your giving concentrates in any one of these three, consider adding an additional pledge to balance your gifts.

Ministry leaders need the kind of training Harding University Graduate School of Religion provides. Your gifts support this important work of heart, mind and strength.
