Support & Involvement > Stewards Recognition Program

The aim of this program is to honor and thank alumni/ae and friends who have entered into partnership with Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in preparing men and women for the continuing ministry of Jesus Christ through generous, long term support.

Cumulative Stewardship Societies

The stewards within these societies are some of Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary's most devoted alumni/ae and friends. These partners in preparing men and women for the continuing ministry of Jesus Christ have been an example of generosity and dedication to the mission of Louisville Seminary through the level and/or faithfulness of their support. This stewardship, together with the grace of prayers on the Seminary's behalf from these and all our other friends, has enabled Louisville Seminary to send ministers into the church for over 150 years.

But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ's gift...The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.
