Ministry Impact Fund

The Ministry Impact Fund at Sioux Falls Seminary gives life to the seminary community by providing funds for academic needs, student financial aid, and operational costs. Enriching the quality of SFS, the Ministry Impact Fund is a lifeline of support for the seminary and its students.

Your ongoing commitment to enhance the atmosphere and quality of Sioux Falls Seminary is appreciated. Gifts to the Ministry Impact Fund help attract a highly qualified student body and assure that those from diverse backgrounds can join our community to learn and grow.  Sioux Falls Seminary's mission is to equip servant leaders for the ministries of Christ in the church and in the world. Your support fulfills our mission by making theological education available to those God calls to ministry. And, for this reason, we call our annual fund the Ministry Impact Fund.
