How Can I Help the
School of Theology

Thanks for asking!

You Can Pray

“Ask, and it will be given to you” (Mark 7:7) . . . you can help us Ask, Seek, & Knock.

Will you commit to pray regularly for the SOT? We will provide you with regular requests that cover students, professors, special events, and more! We welcome individuals and churches to cover us with prayer.

You can host an intern

“Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives” (Titus 3:14) . . . you can help prepare young men and women as servants for the church and world.

We are happy to announce a new internship scholarship program for undergraduate School of Theology majors and minors. The Center for Faith and Ministry (CFM) Scholarship for Internships will provide $1000 to School of Theology majors or minors fulfilling their internship requirement at a Faith Partner Church . . . . No, make that $1,500!

Students will receive $1,500 for the semester-long internship in your church:

$1000 scholarship from Campbellsville University’s Center for Faith and Ministry $500 scholarship OR “in kind” benefits from the church

Students may do their internship during the regular semester or during the summer. Students must meet all course requirements and successfully complete their internship with a posiUve review from their on-site supervisor as well as university professor. The scholarship will be disbursed in two payments: at the midpoint of the internship and acer the student passes the course.

Churches must sign an MOU with the Campbellsville University School of Theology. It is expected that the church will match at least half of the scholarship ($500) or give “in kind” benefits, such as housing, travel, or some other benefit.

But first . . . what are some of the existing scholarships that I might wish to support?

Scholarships: We could not carry on the mission of producing servants for the church and world, if not for the gifts of many faithful churches, families, and individuals over the years. These gifts continue to bear fruit for our students and for the kingdom of Christ.

We have multiple scholarships opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students. Each of these scholarships needs continued generous funding to enable CU to award even more ministry students. Would you consider giving to one of these funds with a one-:me or repeated gift?
